I'm connected directly to the DSL modem/router via eth0 right now.
This is not normal and I'm only connected like this so I can get
online to write this message.  I'm usually trying to connect via ath0
to the Gentoo router which is then connected to the modem/router.
Here is my current ifconfig:

          Interrupt:161 Memory:ffffc20000100000-ffffc20000110000

and /etc/conf.d./net :

modules_ath0=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_ath0=( "-Dmadwifi" )
config_ath0=( "192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" )
routes_ath0=( "default via 192.168.0.1" )
essid_ath0=( "network2" )

although I currently have a couple eth0 lines so I can connect to the
modem/router.  They aren't usually there.

I must admit I don't know what the broadcast and netmask are and they
are set the same for the Gentoo router and the laptop that connects to
it.

Please let me know if you have any idea what the problem might be, or
where I should look for the problem.
