Hi Buddy!

I faced with the same problem yesterday on my new Gentoo box with Atheros L1E Gigabit LAN controller. I enabled Atheros L1E Gigabit Ethernet support in my kernel:

Code:

Device Drivers  --->[*] Network device support  --->[*]   Ethernet (1000 Mbit)  --->
                   <*>   Atheros L1E Gigabit Ethernet support

So I advice you to check your kernel configuration.

Are you sure the device is named eth0? Use the ifconfig command to show the names.

Code:

ifconfig

when say ifconfig there is just lo
and by the way i think i should configure all my hardwares one by one from en.gentoo-wiki.com

IF you are only seeing lo when you run the ifconfig command, then that means your device(s) are not detected/installed correctly.

How did you configure your kernel?
Please post the output of the

Code:

lspci | grep Ethernet

command.
