No I've installed from the third one.

Now I'm tryin the: /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start and it turns

* Starting eth0
* Cannot default to dhcp as there is no dhcp module loaded
* No configuration for eth0

Perhaps I have to load the DHCP. I've Installed gentoo downloading from Internet, Sure that the lan card works.

Next problem is where to download the DHCP file

Did you merge dhcpcd when you did your install? You can see if it is installed by doing

Hello,

I had a similar problem and here is what i did to get it resolved. ( with felp from gentoo folks )

1) I compiled the kernel with my network card driver as a module. Do you have information about what netowrk card you are using?

you can get more information about that here

2) At first when i did lsmod (which lists all the modules loaded) it wasnt showing b44 module (which is my ethernetcard) being loaded.

3) i did modprobe and it showed all the modules which are there in the system. i did ( modprobe b44 ) which loaded the module.

4) also do modules-update just in case.

5) i started eth0 with the command ( /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start ) which fixed the problem

If this works for you dont forget to do (rc-update add net.eth0 default) so that eth0 will be brought up at boot time.

Hope this helps. And i am a n00b too to if anyone find something wrong in what i wrote please let me know.

Cheers,
Sri
