I could, but this is no more necessary

Your guess was wrong, Uwe, but it did help me get on the right track.
There is no RTL driver for that chip but... looking another time at the output 
of lsmod and getting the ansers to Xavier's demands I realized that I the 
system said that eth0 did not exists - but gave it an IP anyway. SO I 
wondered who could be stealing my eth0 and sure enough, it was eth1394!

So although I did configure the ethernet card as eth0 during install, after 
reboot the firewire port took eth0 and the nforce card became eth1...

So now I have put a (useless) config for eth0 in /etc/conf.d/net (perhaps I 
could remove it, but I don't know) and tranfered my settings on eth1, and I 
got my network back.

Thanks you both for your help! Now is time to start emerge kde and go to bed!
