Gentoo networking

[Steve]

It's possible that you have one of the rare NICs that doesn't have a
native linux driver, or does but wasn't detected at install.
Whats the output of lspci and lsmod ?
The other thing I might suggest is checking with ifconfig and seeing
what devices it does see, I have a main board from nVidia that seems
to map the ONLY ethernet port to eth1, (regardless of distro) and I
also have a dell laptop where the wifi got mapped to eth0 (as opposed
to wlan0) even though it does have an ethernet port, (which got mapped
to eth1).
Anyways let us know what you find.
