Hello,

I am trying determine what is the "Gentoo way" to configure my laptop...

I have two pcmcia cards (ethernet and wireless).  At any point I will only 
have one of the cards in.  Therefore, either one could be assigned "eth0".  
The net.eth0 script reads the conf.d/net for interface configuration 
information.  Since it always sees eth0, I can't distinguish between the 
entries in conf.d/net.

How do I make it so that eth0 can be either the ethernet or the wireless 
network?

emerge quickswitch

I used this when I had a Laptop.  The Laptop had both a built-in 
ethernet and built-in wireless(in reality a permanent 3rd pcmcia card), 
I could assign eth0 and eth1 to whichever one I was using so I assume it 
could work for you.  You can assign it via Grub(or LILO) or dynamically 
via command line.
