Good call Karl; I had been thinking of an older system when I modprobed
what I thought was my card.  It still didn't work after a modprobing, but
I compiled it straight in, and it worked just fine. 

Thank you, Karl.

Just out of curiosity (to the list in general), to undepreciate my eth0,
is that just making the net.eth0 file, or am I missing something?

-Eric

I don't mean to be pedantic, but you mean "deprecate," I assume,
unless you're worried your network card isn't worth what it once was.

Could you post more info?  I.e. specific error messages, so on.  IIRC,
you need to link net.eth0 to net.lo, configure /etc/conf.d/net (as
explained in /etc/conf.d/net.example) and /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start.

If you get error messages, please post those, along with the relevant
part of /etc/conf.d/net

Eric, 
your naming of the file is depreciated.  It used to
be /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 that defined network configuration for
eth0, /etc/conf.d/net.eth1 that configured eth1, and so on.  Now, all
are stored in /etc/conf.d/net.  Here's how mine looks, if you want a
jumstart.  

  # This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
  # scripts in /etc/init.d.  To create a more complete configuration,
  # please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
  # in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
  config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
  dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10 -h pascal"

you can see therere that I set dhcp to configure the address,
resolv.conf, and the default route.  I specify a 10 second timeout and
a hostname for dhcpcd.
