Lost eth0 [solved]

I just moved my computer, shutting it down and restarting for the first time in about a month.  Now all ip addr shows is lo.  When /etc/rc.d/network tries to start, it says Error: unknown interface in /etc/rc.conf: `eth0'.  I'm not sure what I've done in the last month or so that could have caused this.

I know it's not much to go on, but I'm a little lost right now, plus I'm typing this on my tablet.  Please help.

Do you use the 'testing' repo ?
What is the output of lspci -nn   ??
What is the output of lsmod  ??

Re: Lost eth0 [solved]

I eventually discovered that a bunch of kernel modules weren't loading, and my network card driver was one of them.  I seem to have resolved that and therefore this.  Thanks for responding to my plea for help.
