My eMachines M6807 notebook eth0 is not setup:
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:54:0A:951
inet6 addr: fe80::...

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
....

This is what I expect:
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:54:0A:951
inet addr:192.168.2.192 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
....

Why?

There are many reasons why. Please post some background info, such as if
it has ever been right, or if this is during the install.

we cannot see much from your post - anyway it seems that you have configured
IPv6 address for your eth0 card. try to post your /etc/conf.d/net file... i
think that there should be the solution.

PS: if we can see
eth0 Link encap: ...
so there shouldn't be any problem with kernel/driver/assign ip... the only
strange thing is that ifconfig assigned an IPv6 address to the interface
inet6 addr: fe80:...
which just means misconfiguration on startup, imho.

eMachines M6807 notebook has only one ethernet chip.
x86_64 2.6.5-gentoo is installed with universal livecd 2004.1. Stage
3, genkernel.
My ADSL modem and 4 port router is working because I am using another
linux computer which got an IP address 192.168.2.192.

The values of eMachines M6807 notebook
/etc/conf.d/net are
iface_eth0="up"
iface_eth1="up"

so you have a dhcp server on your network?

is this right? i mean i've just removed all the suspicous parts of your
message and tried to reconstruct your configuration file.

anyway first of all you have to decide between dynamic or static addressing,
this means that you shouldn't have at the same time

iface_eth[0-1]="dhcp" and
iface_eth[0-1]="192.168..."

follows a strip from my /etc/conf.d/net:

### eth0 dynamic configuration ###
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-h hostname"
### eth1 static configuration ###
iface_eth1="192.168.254.1"
gateway="eth1/192.168.254.254"
### EOF

first of you can see that eth1 has only ip address, w/out any netmask or
broadcast - these are just calculated considering ip address as a part of
standard private class C network (netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.254.255), second you should pay also attention when defining more
than one default gateways...

what i can suggest you is try to put down network with

/etc/init.d/net.eth[0-1] down

and then just try to configure eth by yourself with

# ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.112
# ifconfig eth up

or, in case you have somewhere (on the same broadcast domain) a dhcp server:

# dhcpcd eth0

hope this helps to see something new

I finally get the ethernet to work by adding "pci=noacpi noapic" to
the /boot/grub/grub.conf file:
kernel /kernel-2.6.5-gentoo root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc
real_root=/dev/hda5 vga=0x317 splash=verbose pci=noacpi noapic
psmouse.proto=imps

However,
#ifconfig

eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:25:10:b0:21
inet addr:192.168.2.112 Bcast:192.168.2.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::203:25ff:fe10:b021/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:2307 (2.2 Kb) TX bytes:1243 (1.2 Kb)
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xb000

Why "eth1" but not "eth0"?
Do "inet6 addr" suppose to appear?
