 |
|
Anyone else having this problem? Is it a config issue? I try to do /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start with it and it just times out without getting an address. I downgraded to 2.0.8-r3 and it works fine. Anyone? I'm on amd64 btw if that matters.

yeah, just do
| Code: |
emerge =net-misc/dhcpcd-2.0.8-r3
|
but you will need to download dhcpcd-2.0.8.tar.gz from somewhere else and put it in /usr/portage/distfiles if you don't already have another one. This one settles it for me, I'm leaving a backup of 2.0.8 in my /root folder from now on, it's a tiny tarball.
Why is this still in portage? Does it actually work for some people I guess?? |

This has got to be just about the last straw. What has happened to Gentoo quality control lately? This is just the latest in a series of serious system stuff-ups for which there can be no excuse.
Edit: Thanks, weaksauce, that worked.

It works on my sparc64/fbsd, x86/linux/fbsd and amd64/linux machines quite happily for around 6 months or so. It also works on quite a few other machines. Sadly your running ~ARCH which means while we expect things to work, there is no guarantee. And dhcpcd-3.0.0 worked well enough for me and some others, so in it went.
Hopefully dhcpcd-3.0.1 out soon should address everyones issues.

Took you up on that... the dhcpcd-3.0.1_pre3 release appears to be working fine,
which 3.0.0 definitely wasn't.  |

Wow, thanks for the reminder. I totally forgot that I unmasked DHCPCD after the gcc4.1.1 migration (dhcpcd stopped working under gcc4.1, so I had to unmask it to upgrade from 2.05 to 2.0 .
.... and if I remove it, it tries to install 2.0.5 again... looks like I'll try 3.0.1.

It kinda worked for me, but had weird issues where occasionally it would fail to negotiate a lease, or decided that the lease had expired (which it hadn't.)
Trying 3.0.1 now...  |

3.0.1 hates me. I haven't tried it yet on my home build (x86), but my work amd64 build doesn't work.
| Code: |
Nov 30 11:43:11 smbox dhcpcd[4393]: eth0: dhcpcd 3.0.1 starting
Nov 30 11:43:11 smbox dhcpcd[4393]: eth0: ethernet address = 0:14:22:50:6d:36
Nov 30 11:43:11 smbox dhcpcd[4393]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
Nov 30 11:43:13 smbox tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
Nov 30 11:43:13 smbox tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX.
Nov 30 11:43:41 smbox dhcpcd[4393]: eth0: timed out
Nov 30 11:43:41 smbox dhcpcd[4393]: eth0: exiting
|
Now, just to make sure it is the code and not my config that is doing this:
| Code: |
smbox ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
modules=( "dhcpcd" )
dhcpcd_eth0=( "-t 30" )
dns_domain_eth0="REMOVED_FOR_SECURITY_REASONS.com"
|
After I re-emerged my 2.0.8-r3, which can only be recognized as normal by portage by unmasking it in package.keywords and masking anything newer in package.mask, which is crazy, since the 'stable' version doesn't work with the 'stable' gcc version, but I digress.
| Code: |
Nov 30 11:45:31 smbox rc-scripts: WARNING: net.eth0 has not yet been started.
Nov 30 11:45:36 smbox dhcpcd[8170]: MAC address = XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Nov 30 11:45:38 smbox tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
Nov 30 11:45:38 smbox tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX.
Nov 30 11:45:40 smbox dhcpcd[8170]: verified XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX address is not in use
Nov 30 11:45:40 smbox dhcpcd[8170]: your IP address = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
|
Any ideas?

| well, I just put on 3.0.1 and it works fine, just thought I would put that out there. But, I am going to keep the 2.0.8 tarball ready, because being without a working dhcp client sucks.... anyway, thanks UberLord. |

3.0.1 still wasn't working for me. After this crude workaround patch for net.lo I got it working:
| Code: | --- net.lo.orig 2006-12-01 11:04:17.000000000 +1100
+++ net.lo 2006-12-01 11:04:22.000000000 +1100
@@ -739,6 +739,8 @@
einfo "Bringing up ${iface}"
eindent
for (( config_counter=0; config_counter<${#config[@]}; config_counter++ )); do
+ einfo "Sleeping"
+ sleep 2
# Handle null and noop correctly
if [[ ${config[config_counter]} == "null" \
|| ${config[config_counter]} == "noop" ]] ; then
|
I had to give it a full 2 seconds for the interface to stablize. 1 wasn't good enough. |

3.0.2_pre1 is currently working for me.
3.0.0 had the timeout issue. Would occasionally work for short periods.
3.0.1 obtained a connection then quickly lost it. Only tried it one time. |
