 Posted: Sun Nov 16, 2003 11:21 pm Post subject: dhcpcd eth0 -kernel recompile |
 |
|
I recently recompiled my kernel to setup my bootsplash. Now I am a newbie, so i just followed the instructions as is and everthing kinda worked out right. However, once I rebooted, I was not able to logon to the internet untill i did dhcpcd eth0. So I think that when i compiled my kernel i should have configured something (like a module) for my eth0. Now everthing else works fine (well i did have to setup gdm again) and i never configured any sound module so I can't tell if that got lost.
What do i do so I don't have to dhcpcd everytime i reboot (plz don;t say, well just don't reboot)
Thanks

can't think of anything that could have to do with the kernel recompilation ... what does | Code: | | rc-update add net.eth0 default |
tell you ? Was this rc-script already in runlevel default ? |

I just tried that, but it said
"net.eth0 already installed in runlevel default; skipping"

| i', guessing you emerged dhcpcd lately, it has a bug in it, theres posts about it in network forums, i think it may be fixed as im emerging a newer dhcpcd now, so hopefully problem should be fixed, if not check the forums out there. |

Your /etc/conf.d/net is like that?
# /etc/conf.d/net:
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/net,v 1.7 2002/11/18
# 19:39:22 azarah Exp $
# Global config file for net.* rc-scripts
# This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface
#
#iface_eth0="192.168.168.42 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask
#255.255.255.0"
#iface_eth1="207.170.82.202 broadcast 207.0.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0"
# For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?
#
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-BHD"
# For adding aliases to a interface
#
#alias_eth0="192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4"
# NB: The next is only used for aliases.
#
# To add a custom netmask/broadcast address to created aliases,
# uncomment and change accordingly. Leave commented to assign
# defaults for that interface.
#
#broadcast_eth0="192.168.0.255 192.168.0.255"
#netmask_eth0="255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0"
# For setting the default gateway
#
#gateway="eth0/192.168.168.220"

-B Requests broadcast response from DHCP server.
-D Forces dhcpcd to set domainname of the host to the domainname option supplied by DHCP server.
-H Forces dhcpcd to set hostname of the host to the hostname option supplied by DHCP server. By default dhcpcd will NOT set host-name of the host to the hostname option received from DHCP server.
You welcome!!!
