Re: [gentoo-dev] questions/issues after first boot

[Jared H. Hudson]

Have you tried typing dmesg to see the kernel messages; look to see if
the kernel detected your network card. Also try bringing the interface
up manually. ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

If neither of these work, try making the network driver into a module.
Then reboot and modprobe the module. Type dmesg and see what the driver
message says.
