Yep, your info helped. Oh, Gentoo wiki is up and that helped too. I |
| 20 |
was able to access the install docs and print it for reference. Anyway, |
| 21 |
I removed eudev, emerged udev and rebooted, since it names the devices |
| 22 |
during boot up, I thought that made sense. When I got booted up, |
| 23 |
naturally the network didn't work. To make it easy I just logged into |
| 24 |
KDE. In a Konsole I ran both ip a and ifconfig. Both agreed the |
| 25 |
network was named enp3s0. I then simply renamed the old net.eth0 file |
| 26 |
to net.enp3s0. After that, it came up but it didn't know to use DHCP |
| 27 |
but did try it as a last resort. That will slow things down so I went |
| 28 |
digging for the file, /etc/conf.d/net, and changed the name of the |
| 29 |
network to the new deal. Once all this was done, I ended up with this |
| 30 |
and it trying DHCP first. |

I'm mostly posting this just on the off chance someone else runs into |
| 78 |
this and needs some guidance, I sure did. o_O Oh, don't forget to |
| 79 |
remove the old network and add the new network to the default runlevel |
| 80 |
as it should be. |

So, thanks Jack for the help. The wiki coming up helped to but you got |
| 83 |
me started by knowing what I should look for and where. I think I could |
| 84 |
have done this without the wiki and just the info you provided. As a |
| 85 |
bonus, I have the new network name. |
