Gentoo: how do I get an IP assigned to the network interface?

I'm trying to install Gentoo from the LiveCD (just for fun as well as for getting better understanding what's going on under the Linux's hood) on my notebook.
I've faced an issue which is not described in manuals quite well.
When I'm trying to ping anything:
livecd~# ping 8.8.8.8
I'm getting this:
connect: Network is unreachable
There are three interfaces presented: lo, enp30s0 and wlp4s0. None of them has IP assigned.
As the notebook should connect to the network using wi-fi, I suppose the default interface is wlp4s0.
I'm trying to bring it up:
livecd~# ip link set wlp4s0 up
but with no luck, it still has state DOWN.
UPDATE:
Anyway, other devices (notebook, phone, tablet) have perfect wifi connection.

If you're on DHCP, trynet-setup wlp4s0. Read the Handbook as @HidekiAI recommends, and also read the motd after logging in, which states about halfway down: If you need to setup network devices, or if they're not already setup, usenet-setup.

@hdf let's try determining whether it is your WiMax driver (i.e. you need to modprobe it) or your network in general. Try forcing static ip via: 'ifconfig wlp4s0 <some_static_ip>; route add default gw <your_gateway_ip>' (i.e. 'ifconfig wlp4s0 10.0.10.100; route add default gw 10.0.10.1; ifconfig wlp4s0 up')

Try forcing static ip via: 'ifconfig wlp4s0 <some_static_ip>; route add default gw <your_gateway_ip>' (i.e. 'ifconfig wlp4s0 10.0.10.100; route add default gw 10.0.10.1; ifconfig wlp4s0 up')

I'm going to ignore your wireless interface for now, because I've seen lots of wireless APs with security that are just a complete pain to set up WPA2 on the commandline (somewhere that a GUI, even a CLI one like wicd shines).
Make sure an ethernet cable is plugged in, and you know it works:
ifconfig enp30s0 up
ethtool enp30s0
It should show that the interface has link, and show a speed. If it's not, then something is wrong, test via the following list: router, cable, network card, ethernet card firmware, PCI bus.
If you can reboot to another OS and confirm it works via that cable, then I'd bet on an issue with ethernet card firmware, which does sadly happen. If that is the case, can you post the output of the following commands:
uname -a
# The numbers at the start and in the square brackets are the most critical pieces.
lspci -v -nn |grep Ethernet -A1
# Anything that looks non-default

What laptop is this? I think you're going to have to install the OS using the ethernet, and then use WiFI later as it looks like a firmware issue with that wireless interface.

Did you follow the section on wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Networking/Wireless setup wireless (also the /etc/conf.d/net)?

If you're on DHCP, try
net-setup wlp4s0. Read the Handbook as @HidekiAI recommends, and also read the motd after logging in, which states about halfway down: If you need to setup network devices, or if they're not already setup, usenet-setup.– eyoung100

@HidekiAI I've tried, but got some problems there as well. @eyoung100 after setting up with
net-setupthe problem was still actual– hdf

@hdf let's try determining whether it is your WiMax driver (i.e. you need to modprobe it) or your network in general. Try forcing static ip via: 'ifconfig wlp4s0 <some_static_ip>; route add default gw <your_gateway_ip>' (i.e. 'ifconfig wlp4s0 10.0.10.100; route add default gw 10.0.10.1; ifconfig wlp4s0 up')

@HidekiAI Thank you! I actually gave up on wireless interface so far and used ethernet.
