After fiddling around with skge and sk98lin modules I finally got my onboard Marvell Yukon 1gbit controller detected (with skge). I have my IP address set as 192.168.1.2 and my gateway set as 192.168.1.1 (same settings work fine in Windows XP as well as the Gentoo minimal live CD). Whenever eth0 is started (on startup or manually with /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start), when it gets to "route default gw 192.168.1.1" (or something along those lines), it "errors" (shows [!!] instead of [Ok]), although it doesn't say why. ifconfig shows that eth0 is active and dmesg shows that there is a connection, yet whenever I try to ping my router, or an outside server, I just get "No route to destination" (again, something along those lines). Now, it doesn't error when eth0 is started when the gateway is something different (for example, when I initially configured eth0 and typo'd the gateway as 192.186.1.1). I don't have a single clue why it'd do this. Possibly a problem with my NIC, but I don't see how since it connects fine and works on the minimal CD. I'm using the AMD64 version of Gentoo and 2.6.15-ck3-r1, my CPU is an Opteron 165 and I'm using a DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D. I've tried the nForce NIC, but forcedeth refuses to load (dmesg prints tons of memory addresses when I try to load it with modprobe, I don't know what that is about but I'm ignoring the nForce NIC for now). Thanks.

typo in the config? e.g. wrong network mask or broadcast address?

I did make a couple of typos, but it's still not working following repairing the said typos.

EDIT: Argh missed another typo. I put 196.168.1.2 down as my IP rather than 192.168.1.2. Note to self, never install Gentoo when I'm tired.
