its my first time install gentoo linux, previously i have been an
intermediate redhat user. I followed all the steps from the gentoo
linux installation guide, after rebooting, everything works fine except
for eth0. My network interface wont start up, or wont be detected. On
start up i see, lo up....[ok] however there is no eth0, which i am
familar to seeing in redhat. Once logged in, i type ifconfig and it
only shows lo but no eth0. In /etc/conf.d/net i have the following line
iface_eth0="dhcp". if i run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start it says
'Bringing eth0 up via DHCP ....[!!]' i have dhcpcd installed, however i
think the problem is that the eth0 device isn't installed, im not sure
 on how to install eth0 on gentoo linux. My network card was detected
using LiveCD which gentoo uses for there installation, however after
rebooting into my gentoo system, it could no longer detect my network
interface.

thanks in advance
