Hi,

I'm rebuilding 2nd Gentoo system(at first, it had been working for years, but these days I've got hardware trouble. I have installed some with the old broken hardware, but I renewed today, and this trouble began), but seeing a strange phenomenon; I have an 8139 based nic on the box, so I loaded 8139too, and enabled /etc/init.d/net.eth0. However, net.eth0 says:

I installed Windows xp and confirmed my 8139 based nic worked fine.

With Gentoo's livecd, lcpci detects this nic (as a matter of course because kernel module 8139too can be loaded.)

I found an interesting thing again. Gentoo's livecd can detect my nic as eth0. So my setting is wrong somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Installing from scratch, it is working fine...

Thank you!
