1 I rebooted and my network is "down." eth0 is actually running, but
2 from what I can tell my applications like Evolution and Firefox are
3 trying to use lo.
4
5 I have the link set up
6
7 # cd /etc/init.d
8 # ln -s net.lo net.eth0
9
10 /etc/conf.d/net has config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
11
12 rc-update add net.eth0 default returns that eth0 is already default.
13 I can see it come up when I boot, but lo also comes up. I don't
14 remember ever creating lo.
