When using my new kernel 2.6.13.1 as opposed to 2.6.11.11. baselayout seems to decrease the verbosity when initializing the network. I'm not sure if it's intended, but i like the verbose layout better (esp. when debugging), maybe there's an option that forces this behaviour ? In both cases, the interfaces are configured correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from old kernel 2. boot from new kernel Actual Results: silent initialization Expected Results: verbose initializtion
url now contains network configuration
eth1 doesnt appear to even be started please move the information in the URL to an attachment here and post `emerge info` while you're at it

Those 6 modules you're autoloading - would any of them be a module for your network card? I would say that's know behaviour with 1.12.0_pre8. Try pre17-r2 and make note of the new "Device initiated services" message on boot and read up on the new RC_COLDPLUG setting in /etc/conf.d/rc if you don't like it. BTW, to get that working really well, you will need a 2.6.15 kernel and udev-089 or higher.
