[gentoo-user] Need help with eth0 on new computer

[Michael Sullivan]

I got a new computer yesterday.  As I was installing Gentoo on it, I ran
into a problem.  I've got the basic install set up, but my eth0 won't
start.  It would with the liveCD.  When I boot up with the live CD and
run:

dmesg | grep 'eth0" it gives me this output:


e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xff910000, irq 20, MAC addr 00:13:20:2B:98:18
e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100 Mbps, full-duplex
eth0: no IPv6 routers present


However, when I reboot into my installed environment and run the same
command, there's no mention of 'eth0'.  I tried emerging net-misc/e100 (I
thought it might help), but the build failed.  Something about too many
parameters being passed to a method.  Is there anything I can do to
resolve this other than filing a bug report?
