 |
|
| I executed the lspci command and my ethernet controller is a Intel Corp 82545EM Gigabyte Ethernet Controller (rev 01). Dmesg states that it exists but when Gentoo boots up, I get the eth0 does not exist error even when I added the INtel network support in the kernel (not as a module). Has anyone experienced this? |

Which "eth0 does not exist error"? A little more detail would help.

| It appears that eth1 was created which is now the default network setting (and not eth0). I had to make it activated at boot which fixes the problem. Thanks for your help! |

I've had silly issues like this in the past. The NIC would change from eth0 to eth1 and the other way around randomly. To correct the issue permanently, I had to bind the NIC's MAC address to the interface name in udev config. |
