Hello,
I am having a hard time getting wicd to work on gentoo guest. Thought
that it was a simple matter of emerge and run wicd-client -n to
configure. I have compiled the correct ethernet driver in the kernel (at
least I think so). Does anyone have some experience with this or could
point me to diagnostic approaches? The output of ifconfig -a follows
below. Don't know why eth1 and not eth0 is there. The HWaddr is
correctly obtained from the vbox.
Thanks,

Your information supplied is not enough to really help you solve this

The vbox emulates this adapter
Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (8254OEM)
In the kernel 3.3.8-gentoo I compiled the
Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Support
I compiled directly into the kernel. If I had used a module the module
name would have been e1000.

The contents of /var/log/wicd/wicd.log below do indicate a mess up
with eth1 and eth0. Any idea on how to fix this?

Yep. All I needed to do was to change the wired interface from eth0 to
eth1 in the preferences of wicd-client -n and it works. So the
question is, why do I have eth1 and not eth0 and how do I set up eth0
instead? Is dhcpcd involved in this?

No, it's udev persistent rules. eth0 has already been assigned to a
different MAC address, so this one gets eth1.
Delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to go back to eth0.
