Hi ! Here is a problem I was having on a complety new install with dhcp (with kernel 2.6.15-r5) and which I've solved (that might help somebody else). I add already set OVERRIDE=0 in /etc/conf.d/domainname and iface_eth0="dhcp" in /etc/conf.d/net but it was still not working. I was having this error : /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Starting eth0 * dhcpcd: missing required function interface_is_up So I first tried to do a "emerge baselayout" but it was useless for me (I did not changed my scripts anyway). Anyway that might work for somebody else has the scripts net.* might be corrupted with updates. Then I saw that the "ifconfig" command was missing too : Now I'm sure that was the real problem because it now works. So you must do : Quote: #emerge net-tools Then test if ifconfig is working : #ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:2F:4A:CA:B5 inet addr:192.168.0.101 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:10722 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2570 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:5799448 (5.5 Mb) TX bytes:398753 (389.4 Kb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0xa800 #/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Starting eth0 * Bringing up eth0 * dhcp * Running dhcpcd ...

This is just a bug report with a fixed solution ;-)
