network doesn't start automatically

Just made fresh CD 0.7 install on laptop Acer Aspire 5014 AMD64.

Laptop is conected to DHCP router and I did all necessary settings
in config files.

Correct module for network card is loaded.

The problem is I can start network only manually by:

dhcpcd eth0

How to do it automatically?

Make sure the Interfaces section of /etc/rc.conf looks like this:

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

Re: network doesn't start automatically

It's exactly like this.

Now I am starting to worry about another things. Laptop behaves
vary strange: sometimes right after reloading keyboard is dead -- I can't
even print "root" to log in. It comes alive, though, after I press combination "Windows Key"--"Caps Lock". Sometimes, computer hangs after entering smth like "cd etc".

Could it be Athlon 64 issue?
