Starting eth0 failed after emerge -u world

I did emerge -u world. After the update, eth0 fails at every bootup:

neptunium root # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Bringing eth0 up... [ ok ]
* Setting default gateway...
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
* Failed to bring eth0 up [ !! ]

I guess I've similar problem with this (gateway does not lie within your own ip subnet):

My network configuration in /etc/conf.d/net.eth0: (s/xxx/my_ip)

iface_eth0="130.231.3.xxx broadcast 130.231.3.255 netmask 255.255.248.0"
gateway="eth0/130.231.0.1"

However, I'm able to setup my network manually by running commands:
ifconfig eth0 130.231.3.xxx broadcast 130.231.3.255 netmask 255.255.248.0
route add default gw 130.231.0.1

Any easy solution? The configuration in /etc/conf.f/net.eth0 worked fine before updating, why it fails now? Why it works when setup manually? I'm confused :-/

Put your configuration in /etc/conf.d/net instead of /etc/conf.d/net.eth0, and see if that helps.
