After I updated a series of packages (dbus,hal,ivman to name a few) and updated the config files I lost my internet conection.
I use cold plug during boot
My n-force onboard ethernet card module loads (lsmod shows forcedeth is present)
dhcp was up and running
"ifconfig -a" gave the following
eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-30-1B-B8-00-00-38-0D-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

This is odd as I only have the oneonboard ethernet card in this box, and before the upgrade "ifconfig -a" only showed eth0.
Well I created a /etc/init.d/net.eth1 from the /etc/init.d/net.eth0
Then ran "rc-update add eth1default"
That did thetrick, my internet is back
My questions is: Does anyone know what is up with eth0, Link encap: UNSPEC ?
My solution seems a bit crude, anyone have a more elegant soltion? |

After your update were you advised that there were config files that needed updating?
Did you do
and accept all the new files?
If you did your config files which set up your net connection were likely to have been over-written, you need to pay careful attention to what files you have modified yourself and what is being over-written/merged in.
I perefer using dispatch-conf to modify files after a system update as it automatically creates backups.
See this TIP at the gentoo-wiki for more info.
