My Gentoo router runs great under baselayout-1.11.*, but upgrading to 1.12.* causes the following message to be output right after net.eth0 starts:

NETLINK answers: Network unreachable

The Internet is then unreachable.  net.eth0 is the connection to my Verizon DSL modem/router.  Downgrading to baselayout-1.11.* fixes the problem.  Here's my /etc/conf.d/net:

routes_eth0="default via 192.168.1.1"
config_eth0="192.168.1.2"

You didn't specify a netmask or CIDR in your config

config_eth0="192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
or
config_eth0="192.168.1.2/24"

should work for you.
