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.
