I am sorry to ask this simple question But I don't find any Networking guide for Noob .
After installing succefully , sharing internet , KDE , DVD Player , I would like to improve more about Networking . But I can't find any guide for Gentoo.

So how to initialize and bring up eth1 , the lan is already compile on kernel and I can see it with

#cat /proc/pci

Thanks in advance

edit /etc/init.d/net.eth
or /etc/conf.d/net.eth
( i am not at my gentoo box)
its the same file you edited to have either a static IP or dhcp.
There should be commented out line that references eth1.
either set eth1 to dhcp or static IP.

That should do it. You may need an additional gateway for that NIC & you can add that with # route.

I hope this helps and I hope someone can contribute more. I'm on my lunch break

If you didn't want both cards up at the same time, you could use something like the init script I wrote for my laptop, which moves between work, home, and wireless at home. See:
