That isn't right. It should say it's for interface eth0.

Do you still have netifrc installed? Maybe it got lost in all that updating work. Try emerging it again anyway. Do your 90-network-rules look like mine? $ cat /lib/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules # do not edit this file, it will be overwritten on update # /etc/udev/rules/90-network.rules: triggering network init-scripts # Activate our network if we can SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", RUN+="net.sh %k start" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="net.sh %k stop" I'm clutching at straws here, and I hear others doing the same ;-( -- Regards Peter
