Network wont start at boot [SOLVED]

I recently installed archlinux and it works great with the exception that my network wont start at boot...
I have an generic ethernet card (shouldnt require any modules... unless I'm mistaken:|)
I get the error message that eth0 cannot be found, lo starts fine tho

down: error fetching interface information: Device not found
                                                                         [FAIL] 
/etc/rc.conf: line 61: eth0: command not found
:: Starting Network                                                      [DONE]

my rc.conf is set up correctly (i think)

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0 ="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
ROUTES=(!gateway)

After boot I can connect to my network by:

ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0

Any suggestions on whats going on and how I can get my network to start at boot?

eth0 ="dhcp"

Try removing the extra whitespace between eth0 and =.

eth0="dhcp" instead of
eth0 ="dhcp"
