unable to bring eth0 up

[cto2mac]

Ok here is the problem I setup gentoo (again), everything looks good.

Only one problem
I get this error
dhcpcd[1867]; dhcpStart: ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device

What am I doing wrong?? I compiled my ethernet card into the kernel (kernel proper, not as a module) but still no dice. Please help.

Thanks

Hi,

Are you sure that you compiled the right ethernet card?

Check it:

I've got:

#dmesg |grep eth0

eth0: RealTek RTL-8029 found at 0xb000, IRQ 10, 00:E0:7D:84:A3:C0.

Your /etc/conf.d/net must have something like this:

iface_eth0="dhcp"


All the best,
