i installed gentoo 1.2 some moths ago and i have had never problems with my networkcard.

now i've installed gentoo 1.4r3 but i cant get up my eth0! i've read the docs and searched the forums but i can't figure out what the problem could be.

i started from stage 2. got my networkcard running with
insmod pcmcia_core
insmod i82365
insmod ds
cardmgr -f
-- no problem so far.

i finished the installation, compiled my kernel without cardbus support, mounted /boot before copying bzImage...
i followed all this instructions exactly:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.phpt=26716&highlight=pcmcia+kernel

the message i get at bootup is:
starting pcmcia
cardmgr[3062]: watching 1 sockets
cardmgr[3062]: starting, version is 3.2.4
cardmgr[3062]: socket 0: NE2000 compatible fast ethernet

cardmgr[3062]: + 7G [ !! ] to bring eth0 up
cardmgr[3062]: +
cardmgr[3062]: start cmd exited with status 14

ifconfig shows no eth0..

Well, there seems to be one thing missing.

How did you configure the network? Do you use static Ip or dhcp?

If dhcp, try to run the following:

i use dhcp and i configured the /etc/conf.d/net file like you.
i also tried static ip to test if the device comes up - but the eth0 didn't come up.
ifconfig shows no eth0!
