I have nothing in my /etc/conf.d/net file then my network card should set-up with dhcp but it doesn't?!?

It say:

*Starting lo
* module interface not loaded

* Starting eth0
* dhcpcd: missing required function interface_is_up

I remove all my network configuration files and emerge baselayout again
I check my kernel configuration and everything is ok
My network card is perfectly detected and i'm able to do : dhcpcd eth0 and it works perfectly!

Someone have an idea please?!?

In that case remove net.lo and net.eth0 from /etc/init.d

emerge baselayout again

cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.eth0

Should work then. If not then it's a different error and you'll need to post the new error message.

Problem is solved. When I install Gentoo 29006, emerge system skip net-tools.
Then I had no ifconfig command!

Hi !

I was having the same issue from a complety new install (with kernel 2.6.15-r5). But now it's solved !

I add already set OVERRIDE=0 in /etc/conf.d/domainname and iface_eth0="dhcp" in /etc/conf.d/net
but it was still not working. I was having this error :
