Description august 2004-04-17 14:00:09 UTC

I have my ethernet card (eepro100, Intel 8086) working.  I'v have tried with modules, and with it built into the kernel.  The ethernet card is functional, I can set it's ip and ping it.  But, for the life of me, I cannot get the card to set it's IP over dhcp.  It works fine on the install CD (actually, the wierd thing is I have to do 'net-setup eth1' instead of net-setup eth0 on the instlal CD - another bug)

...but '/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start' does not work after I install.  yes, I have set the right settings in /etc/conf.d/net  
iface_eth0="dhcp"

it simply will not work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install gentoo  (with Intel eexpres pro net card) with proper kernel device
2.configure networking properly for dhcp
3.reboot into newly installed machin


Actual Results:  
networking DOES NOT WORK

Expected Results:  
it should have worked and made the networking functional

try e100 (kernel module) or e100 (ebuild)
