While you're in the Ubuntu environment, issue "lspci -k" to see which kernel |
23 |
driver your ethernet device uses. It is R8169 which is provided by: |
24 |
|
25 |
Symbol: R8169 [=y] |
26 |
Type : tristate |
27 |
Prompt: Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support |
28 |
Location: |
29 |
-> Device Drivers |
30 |
-> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) |
31 |
-> Ethernet driver support (ETHERNET [=y]) |
32 |
-> Realtek devices (NET_VENDOR_REALTEK [=y]) |

The Gentoo Handbook has the following Networking section |
35 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=8#doc_chap2 |
36 |
which tells you what to do. |

If you prefer eth0, rather than some udev mangled name such as enp3s0, read |
39 |
the three methods in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udev/upgrade |
