I'm installing linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r7.
Network initialization fails during startup:
* Starting eth0
* Loading networking modules for eth0
* modules: iptunnel ifconfig dhcpcd apipa
* ifconfig provides interface
* dhcpcd provides dhcp
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* eth0 does not exist
* Trying fallback configuration
* 192.168.0.4
* eth0 does not exist
The problem appears to be that /sys/class/net/eth0 does not exist.
This is a pseudo-filesystem like proc that I cannot manipulate.
Is there some configuration file that needs initialization or a package
that I need to install?
The documentation states: "DHCP is used by default and does not require
any further configuration."
