I apologize for the non-descript summary, but I really don't know what the problem is. When I attempt to bring up my network using /etc/init.d/net.eth0, the script exits with the "OK!!" text. However, my network is not fully configured: # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0A:E6:EE:16:A2 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1847444 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:155672 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2630280660 (2508.4 Mb) TX bytes:29598933 (28.2 Mb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x8000 At first glance, it looks like the line that usually begins with "inet addr:" etc. is missing. So I cannot get access either the internet or the local network. I confirmed that my router does not have this computer in its DHCP table after running the net.eth0 script. Looking in /var/log/messages for hints, I see this: # tail /var/log/messages Apr 14 00:14:34 brisco udhcpc[32571]: udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started Apr 14 00:14:34 brisco udhcpc[32572]: script /lib/rcscripts/sh/udhcpc.sh failed: No such file or directory Apr 14 00:14:34 brisco udhcpc[32571]: Sending discover...

I was able to bring the network up manually using /sbin/udhcpc after fiddling with the sample scripts provided in /usr/share/udhcpc/: # /sbin/udhcpc --interface=eth0 udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started Sending discover...

Thank you.
Please install net-misc/udhcp-0.9.9_pre20041216-r2 as that contains the script.
Thank you, that took care of it.

Ok, but there should be at least a warning in the baselayout ebuild because net-misc/udhcp-0.9.9_pre20041216-r2 is still masked ~x86. At least for a non-developer like me it is not obvious that I have to update additional non stable packages.
