Bring up a working system and run lsmod. We have no way to tell what hardware you have, but we do refer to several references on configuring a kernel in Section 8.3. You can also just build all ethernet drivers as modules. You may get some interface like enp2s0. See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ The objective of udev-lfs-208-1/init-net-rules.sh in Section 6.62 is to create a udev rule to rename this back to eth0. >>> I installed dhcp, following the suggestions in "9.3. >> >> Always keep it simple when debugging.
