eth0 is not a valid Ethernet interface

Attach output of
ip l show eth0
or
ifconfig eth0

Comment 2 Maximiliano 2008-10-30 17:09:50 UTC

Hi Roy,
      I recompile baselayout (emerge -a sys-apps/baselayout) and when I rebooted the machine the interface got up OK!!,

Thanks very much for your help,

Max
