Yep, I realized that by looking at "dmesg" and finally got it working. What complicated and confused the issue is that I had two network cards (3COM and Linksys) with only the 3COM plugged into the network. The gentoo kernel decided to assign eth0 to the Linksys card which was not plugged in and therefore could not get a DHCP address.
