ERROR: interface enp0sfoo doesn't exist


I just installed gentoo but when I boot up I get the following error:

when I type ifconfig -a, only lo and sit0 shows up.

as you can see net.enp0s29u1u2u3i5 is there (yes my interface name is weird)

I made sure to install the kernel modules, also I put them in /etc/modules-load.d/network.conf (only the net modules).

this is the result of
Code:
root #find /lib/modules/5.10.27-gentoo/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' | less
I then recompiled the kernel but it still says net.enp0s29u1u2u3i5 doesn't exist, after boot. I was careful to follow the instructions of gentoo handbook exactly.
Maybe I need additional drivers for my laptop? (its an old laptop, Toshiba Satellite-C660). Any help will be appreciated

This sounds like your trying to get your network to work.
as you can see here
Your laptop is fully covered by the Linux kernel.
Read here

This will get your wired network running.

Your just on a learning curve.
Your modules are there you need to use the programs that use them.
