On a more serious note: I get this when I try to run "route add default 10.0.0.1", as on the live CD (I thought I had already configured the network anyway, in /etc/conf.d/net . SIOCADDRT: No such device I'm not sure what this means, but I can't ping www.google.com, or any other public address. I CAN ping other IP's in my network, including 10.0.0.1 Emerge obviously doesn't work either.
