Subject: [gentoo-user] Recent networking problems

Hi all,

since about two weeks I have been fighting with networking problems on 
a laptop. It all started with a big sync & world update that gave me new 
udev-171-r5, wicd-1.7.1_pre20120127, tuxonice-sources-3.0.17, 
openrc-0.9.8.2, among other things (I'm mostly running stable). Symptoms 
are that I cannot even get wired _listed_ in wicd, and when connecting 
to various different wireless routers, the connection died quickly. The 
e1000e driver (for wired) apparently never detects when a cable is 
connected, and when trying it through /etc/init.d/net.eth0, dhcpcd times 
out when waiting for a carrier... I tried alternating kernels (tuxonice- 
and gentoo-sources, both older and new ones between 2.3.38-r1 and 3.2.1) 
and kernel configurations as well as downgrades of several suspect 
packages, without success.

Does that ring a bell with someone? Any advice how I can track down 
these problems?

Cheers,
    Peter.
