I did an update a few days ago, and when I rebooted recently the net wont come up.

ifconfig shows no eth0

I can start it manually, like ifconfig eth0 up

why did it stop being automatic ?

here is my /etc/conf.d/net :

config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.0.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.0.1" )

I read somewhere that if I have to change HWaddr or something to ether in ifconfig.sh but that did not work.

Do you upgrade to OpenRC / Baselayout 2 ?

Do you have a link net.eth0 to net.lo in /etc/init.d/ ?
Also check if net.eth0 is in default runlevel.

err, I have openrc and baselayout2

its a new installation.. like a month ago.. and I don,t update or restart often... I just checked and it seems they were installed recently!

I do not have a link for net.eth0 either.

what do I do ??

Edit :

I looked up openrc and baselayout2 and found a gentoo guide!

It all works now!
THANKS!
