 Posted: Sun Dec 17, 2023 8:13 pm Post subject: [Solved] Gentoo IPv4 adresses not working properly |
 |
|
Essentially I can't connect to any IPv4 address on my system. (Mysteriously IPv6 Addresses are still working).
A long time ago when I installed Gentoo, I configured my network with Netifrc. My /etc/conf.d/net only contains:
| Code: |
config_enp4s0="dhcp"
|
I created the symlink
| Code: |
ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.enp4s0
|
and finally added
| Code: | | rc-update add net.enp4s0 default |
Everything was working fine until this morning, when my internet is really acting up: essentially for reasons unknown to me, I can only connect to ipv6 addresses and that includes my local network.
When I try the command | Code: | | sudo /etc/init.d/net.enp4s0 restart |
I get:
| Code: |
Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Bringing down interface enp4s0
* Bringing up interface enp4s0
* Starting ifplugd on enp4s0 ...
ifplugd: unrecognized option '--iface=enp4s0'
BusyBox v1.36.1 (2023-07-09 22:23:37 EDT) multi-call binary.
Usage: ifplugd [OPTIONS]
Network interface plug detection daemon
-n Run in foreground
-s Don't log to syslog
-i IFACE Interface
-f/-F Treat link detection error as link down/link up
(otherwise exit on error)
-a Don't up interface at each link probe
-M Monitor creation/destruction of interface
(otherwise it must exist)
-A Don't up newly appeared interface
-r PROG Script to run
-x ARG Extra argument for script
-I Don't exit on nonzero exit code from script
-p Don't run "up" script on startup
-q Don't run "down" script on exit
-l Always run script on startup
-t SECS Poll time in seconds
-u SECS Delay before running script after link up
-d SECS Delay after link down
-m MODE API mode (mii, priv, ethtool, wlan, iff, auto)
-k Kill running daemon
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `ifplugd' [ !! ]
* WARNING: net.enp4s0 has started, but is inactive

I was able to resolve the problem by running dhcpcd as a service, but it looks like my network services are in a messy state, so I would like to understand what is happening here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have busybox symlinks enabled from somewhere and that has made it look like ifplugd is installed to netifrc.
This busybox version has different arguments than standard ifplugd by that message.
Either discontinue the net.* service and delete it (keeping dhcpcd service) or remove the ifplugd symlink. |

It worked.
Thanks a lot for your help. I currently actually don't need busybox, so I uninstalled it and removed the symlink and the service runs again normally. |

| Another alternative is to set modules="!ifplugd" in /etc/conf.d/net to disable ifplugd detection entirely. |
