Where do I find the network configuration files (script and drivers).

I want to copy them from the live-cd (where my network works)
to my gentoo installation (where the network doesn't work despite numorous efforts to make it work).

Main configuration files are:
- /etc/hostname : contains your host name
- /etc/resolv.conf : contains your Dns servers name
- /etc/hosts : contains host name and their ip
You van have a look at '/etc/conf.d/net', to check the configuration (dhcp, static-ip...) of your network.

In order to resolv your network problems, you have to check this:
- the module of your net.card is correctly loaded
- you have assigned an IP (if you don't use dhcp) to your network interface
- check the Dns server ip in your configuration
- configure your gateway (using the 'route add default gw w.x.y.z' command).
