The problem appears to be that /sys/class/net/eth0 does not exist.
This is a pseudo-filesystem like proc that I cannot manipulate.
Is there some configuration file that needs initialization or a package
that I need to install?
No, you just need to load the driver for your NIC.
What do lspci and lsmod report?

This is my first attempt with gentoo and kernel compilation so I'm not
very knowledgable about modules. I just followed the steps in the x86
installation handbook. Except for the network, everything else (cdrom,
floppy) seems to work.
