 Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2003 8:19 pm Post subject: where should i put dhcpcd to get it to run at boot time |
 |
|
I did an emerge -e system
Now in order to access the network i have to run dhcpcd as root.
This is kind of a rudimentary question perhaps... but where should I put the reference to
the dhcpcd module so that it just runs every time?
for that matter I am having a hard time understanding the whole init thing. Can someone
point me to good information ? |

It's said int the installation manual: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap21
Inside /etc/conf.d/net you have to tell it that eth0 (if that's your network interface) to use dhcpcd.
| Code: | Edit the /etc/conf.d/net script to get your network configured for your first boot.
Code listing 21.2: Boot time Network Configuration
# nano -w /etc/conf.d/net
If you want eth0 to automatically receive its IP, set iface_eth0 to dhcp. Otherwise fill in your IP, broadcast address and netmask. If you have several interfaces, do the same for iface_eth1, iface_eth2 etc.
Now add the net.eth0 initscript to the default runlevel if it isn't a PCMCIA network card:
Code listing 21.3: Automatically start the network interfaces during boot
# rc-update add net.eth0 default |
