I wonder if it's just me. Recently, when I install Gentoo on laptops,
net-setup does not work; I end up with eth0 in the 169.254/16 range,
i.e. "zeroconf". However, I can manually go in afterwards and type the
appropriate "ifconfig" and "route add" statements. Then eth0 comes up
properly. In a recent case it was 192.168.123.252 netmask
255.255.255.248 (YES!) broadcast 192.168.123.255 and default gateway
192.168.123.254.

Is there a known problem with wifi interfering with eth0 in net-setup?
I just want to check around before filing a bug. I tried the
"nodchcpd" option but it didn't help.

Did you use SystemRescueCD? Its net-setup was broken until recently,
the recent version 3.4.1 has it fixed.

No. I used the Gentoo minimal install ISO image. I ran isohybrid on
it and dd'd it onto a USB key. The netbook does not have a CD drive.

No problem, it's next to trivial to put SystemRescueCD onto a USB key
