[gentoo-laptop] Ethernet not starting...

[mail]

Hi, I know this sounds bad, I must be missing something really easy
here. I can't seem to start my ethernet interface...

I have a Thinkpad T43
lspci shows: 
  Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit PCI Express card 

I loaded the Tigon3 kernel module
dmesg shows:
   eth0: Tigon3... with a mac address

I have a simple setup in conf.d/net of just config_eth0= ( "dhcp" )
however, when I try to start it, I get the following error:

/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start, I get:
* Caching service dependencies ...                        [ ok ]
* Starting eth0
*   Bringing up eth0
*     dhcp
*       network interface eth0 does not exist
*       Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)  [ !! ]


If I boot with a knoppix live CD, the Interface fires up fine, so I know
it is supported...

What am I missing?
Thanks!
rick

If this instalation was used in another machine, or you have another net device,
udev can be putting your broadcom as another number (eth2, ...)

Try
ifconfig -a
or
ip addr
to get all interfaces on your system

If the problem is the wrong id on eth, remove
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

And udev will recreate automaticaly again.

Good,

This took me a complete day recompiling kernel here, I was thinking
in problem with Xen or some package... Tried several options of kernel,
till found eth5 with ip addr... Looked in Google e found the answer in a
Gentoo forum.

One day lost and it was only a little file...
