I once had to remove the file and reemerge the app so it would update the configuration. To do that, I booted the livecd, chrooted and reemerged the failing app, you could do that for your system, you'll probably get networking without mess with ifconfig or iwconfig (because you seem unfamiliar with these tools). There you could reemerge it all, even update it, but sincerely, you should not need network to reemerge something already emerged once (don't clean your distfiles before being sure you don't need them anymore). -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
