Wired connection not available Sabayon 6 KDE

[Ariya]

In manage connections wired is grayed out.

# ifconfig gives the following;

and,

# ethtool -i eth0
bash: ethtool: command not found

# ifconfig eth0
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

eth0 works with all other distros in the laptop.

# uname -a

Can you help? Might need wired connection sometime, where wifi is not around. Wifi works well.

Thanks!
