Description Justus Ranvier 2005-01-29 13:05:16 UTC

I've built a new system using baselayout-1.11.8 and I can not get network functionality. net.lo gives the following error message: "no interface module loaded" net.eth0 fails with "apipa: missing function interface_exists".

I've re-emerged baselayout and run etc-update to verify that net.lo is the correct version. I use a monolithic kernel so there aren't any network modules to load.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2.

Comment 1 Justus Ranvier 2005-01-29 14:06:55 UTC

I found the problem: when I initially ran "emerge system", net-tools never got emerged! I think the missing ifconfig program caused the error. Based on what "emerge -e system" is downloading, quite a few packages never got installed in the first place.
