hi,

i have 2 nics and the second one doesn't start during boot. the first one (env3) comes up fine. i'm using openrc and netifrc and my /etc/conf.d/net looks like this:
Code:

config_env3="172.16.76.22 netmask 255.255.128.0 brd 172.16.76.255"
config_env4="192.168.1.22 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255"
routes_env4="default via 192.168.1.1"
dns_servers_env3="172.16.76.8"


both have the symlink in /etc/init.d:
Code:

ln -s net.lo net.env3
ln -s net.lo net.env4


if i start it manually after logging in via:
Code:
rc-service net.env4 start

it starts and works fine. so what did i miss?

Likely missed:
Code:
rc-update add net.env3 default
rc-update add net.env4 default

That env3 config seems a bit broken as a /17 bitmask for 172.16.76.22 should be 172.16.127.255 for the broadcast.
A mistake of a /25 bitmask would have a broadcast of 172.16.76.127.
Something feels wrong with either way.

I suggest using CIDR setups to have consistency and avoid errors.

that did the trick, thanks! makes me wonder why env3 worked anyway.
