siocsifaddr no such device

So I just installed Arch, just the core and nothing else.
Not sure what to say, I'm using an Asus M2V motherboard which has the Attansic L1 ehternet drivers.

ifconfig -a produces everything seemingly fine, I've edited no files might I add. (except for making Tony the hostname in rc).

When i try to restart the network (apart from the fact that it never actually starts in the first place) it just says

*siocsifaddr no such device
etch0 - unknown interface
siocsifNETMASK no such device
siocsifBRDADDR no such device
etho interface no such device

This is the rc.con networking section.
lo" 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.158.0.255"
INTERFACEs=("dhcp")

I edited the interfaces part, I have a few times.. nothing works.

and the gateway is just
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

I have to hand it to myself though, this is the first time a distro has not picked up the internet in many years, and I can't seem to fix it.

Any help much appreceated.

Re: siocsifaddr no such device

Well, that's completely wrong.

Remove the lo= line, that's getting handled in /etc/rc.sysinit already, so no need for it in rc.conf.

eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
