If there is no need for any additional networking tools, continue immediately with the section on  Configuring a bootloader .

Installing a DHCP client

 Important

Although optional, the majority of users will find that they need a DHCP client to connect to the DHCP server on their network. Please take this opportunity to install a DHCP client. If this step is forgotten, then the system might not be able to get on the network thus making it impossible to download a DHCP client afterward.

In order for the system to automatically obtain an IP address for one or more network interface(s) using netifrc scripts, it is necessary to install a DHCP client. We recommend the use of  net-misc/dhcpcd  although many other DHCP clients are available through the Portage tree:

root # emerge --ask net-misc/dhcpcd

More information on  dhcpcd  can be found in the  dhcpcd article .

Optional: Installing a PPPoE client

If PPP is used to connect to the internet, install the  net-dialup/ppp  package:

root # emerge --ask net-dialup/ppp

Now continue with  Configuring the bootloader .
