iptunnel: missing required function interface_variable

Since 2 days i'm getting this error when i boot, when starting the network interfaces. It happens with both eth0 and lo.

My /etc/conf.d/net contains
ifconfig_eth0=( "dhcp" )

I am running with baselayout sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.7-r2

Im not sure what caused it. how do i fix it?

okay, so i fixed it. I cancelled an emerge last night. And running 'dispatch-conf' fixed my error.

Dispatch-conf wont fix it here, there are no new config files to update.

If you updated baselayout try this:

delete /etc/init.d/net.lo and /etc/init.d/net.eth0...
then re-emerge baselayout...
reboot and it should work fine...

I, too, had nothing to update after emerging the baselayout update and this fixed my network problems...and all of the other minor problems due to "lo" being down.

But even as it was issuing a "dhcpcd" command at the console started the network at least.

However, I have /usr/portage set up as an nfs share on a server which is then referenced by all the machines on my network using static IP addresses. {Small network}

In order to recover I had to:

# ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.110 <== your address may very
# route add default gw 192.168.0.1 <== your gateway may vary
# /sbin/portmap
# /sbin/rpc.statd
# mount -a -t nfs

Certainly not convenient.

I got burned by the new baselayout this morning as well. I was wondering, is anyone else having problems getting their gateway assigned using the net net.eth0 file. Apparently net.eth0 is now a symlink to net.lo. However, I don't see anywhere in net.lo where it is grabbing my "gateway =" from /etc/conf.d/net to assign my gateway. I'm having to do it by hand.

Anyone else seeing this?
