This isn't really an urgent problem, but it is getting frustrating. Whenever I boot up, everything goes fine with the kernel except ONE thing. It spits out the dhcpcd information, but it fails. The boot moves on, I log in as root, run dhcpcd manually, log out, log in as a normal user and start x. Obviously, this is quite bothersome to do all the time.
I have a wireless card with an atheros chipset, so the interface is ath0, not eth0, which I think is likely the problem. To get my internet started, I have to run 'dhcpcd ath0', not just dhcpcd. The problem could be with the symlinking done in the install. I have net.ath0 symlinked to neteth0, and net.eth0 set to use dhcp. I don't know what else I need to do.
The relevant part of my conf.d/net loks thusly:
| Code: | iface_ath0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_ath0="-HDMadwifi" |
Your thoguhts? Thanks in advance. |

Hi,
maybe this will help (man dhcpcd):
| Quote: | -t <timeout>
Specifies (in seconds ) for how long dhcpcd will try to get an IP address. The
default is 60 seconds. dhcpcd will not fork into background until it gets a valid
IP address in which case dhcpcd will return 0 to the parent process. In a case
dhcpcd times out before receiving a valid IP address from DHCP server dhcpcd will
return exit code 1 to the parent process. |
you can symlink net.ath0 directly to net.lo, but should make no impact a long as net.eth0 is symlinked to net.lo. Try the timeout. If the timeout doesn't work try posting what you mean by:
| Quote: | | It spits out the dhcpcd information, but it fails. |
good luck!
