I have installed gentoo using amd64 livedvd doing a netless install and network works. When I update udev to current version (emerge udev) it mean that my netcard doesn't start after reboot. I have done some testing trying to workaroud this bug: tried updating all system, building a new kernel (with genkernel), using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" but without any luck. My netcard is a onboard card on gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 witch uses sky2 as driver. lspci | grep -i net 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 22) My bios is latest version F9.

Created attachment 114427 [details] This is dmesg when booting on live dvd
Created attachment 114429 [details] dmesg when booting after updating udev
udev does not really affect network interfaces ... the kernel/drivers do that post the output of `ifconfig -a` as the output of `dmesg` isnt really useful
sorry - didn't know that. But that actually helped alot. ifconfig -a (booting on livedvd) give eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:E6:5E:C2:8A inet addr:192.168.3.100 Bcast:192.168.3.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::216:e6ff:fe5e:c28a/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:202 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:213 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:168868 (164.9 Kb) TX bytes:38111 (37.2 Kb) Interrupt:16 but after updating baselayout and udev ifconfig -a (normal boot) gives eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-16-E6-00-00-B7-51-5A-00-00-00-00-00-00-0$ BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:E6:5E:C2:8A BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:16 and if I do ln -s net.lo net.eth1 /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start then my network works again - GREAT! No idea what eth0 is.
Maybe eth0 is my logitech diNovo usb bluetooh dongle. If you want me to verify please tell me how to do that.
this is a feature ... newer udev does persistent interface binding edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to align MACs to interfaces
