I installed Gentoo from a minimal CD on a HP Pavillion dv6. I chose to
use genkernel to automatically configure the kernel. Unfortunately,
during the boot, it seems that the dhcp client isn't able to contact
the DHCP server.

Running lspci, I can detect the network adapter:
<snippet>
03:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor CO., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
</snippet>

It seems that the system has loaded the module r8169, even if it
doesn't match exactly my model.

If I start /etc/init.d/net.eth0 manually, I can see

<snippet>
* starting eth0
*   bringing ip eth0
*     dhcp
*         Running dhclient ....
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 192.168.0.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, +1 errors, 100% packet loss, time 0ms
</snippet>

Thanks in advance,
Manuel Fiorelli

I forgot to say that I have installed the kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r4.

My "/etc/conf.d/net" is
<snippet>
config_eth0=("dhcp")
</snippet>

and the output of `rc-update show default` is
<snippet>
       local | default
  net.eth0 | default
netmount | default
</snippet>

I can execute "ifconfig eth0 up" with success, but nothing seems to wok :-(

According to this bug report

http://bugs.gentoo.org/148090

there was a problem with my hardware, which was addressed patching the
module r8169.
