25 It seems to me that you don't have the network start script(s) activated.
26 Try executing:
27 rc-update add net.eth0 default
28 You should replace "eth0" with the name of your link.

31 The gentoo way to:
32
33 - start a service is:
34 "/etc/init.d/<service-name> start"
35 For example: /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
36
37 - stop a service is:
38 "/etc/init.d/<service-name> stop"
39 For example: /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
40
41 - make a service auto-start during boot is:
42 "rc-update add <service-name> <run-level>"
43 For example: rc-update add net.eth0 default
44
45 - prevent a service from auto-starting during boot is:
46 "rc-update del <service-name>"
47 For example: rc-update del net.eth0 default
