Why do I always have to dhcpcd eth0?
OK... I just got my new install of Gentoo working, but I am having an interesting problem. Whenever the machine is booted up, I must bring down eth0, dhdpcd it, and then bring it up for it to work. My connection is set to DHCP, so I shouldnt have to be doing this. It is also interesting because before I bring it down and dhcpcd it, an IP is assigned to me, so it seems like it should be working--but it wont connect to anything. Below are the results for ifconfig eth0 before and after the dhcpd...
