Problem starting network

For some reason unknown to me, the network fails to start for me on boot.  It tries, fails, and moves on.  When it gets booted up completely, I can do a 'dhcpcd eth0' and it comes up fine.

This is in my rc.conf, and by my eye it looks ok (but I guess that doesn't mean much).

# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

Ideas?  Suggestions?

Re: Problem starting network

What do you have for gateway and route settings in /etc/rc.conf.  It should be something like this

gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

Re: Problem starting network

Is the kernel-module for your network-card in the MODULES-array in rc.conf?
That might also be worth a shot...
