dhcpcd interfering with static IP settings

[Punchcutter]

I just did an emerge world the other day, and now something funny's happening...

I have a static IP that I use on my wired network (here at work), and now what I find is that when I start up (or restart net.eth0 by hand), I get my static IP, but in a few seconds dhcpcd comes on and takes over the interface, assigning me a dynamic IP. If I try to kill dhcpcd and restart the interface, same thing happens... static IP at first, then dhcpcd reassigns it.

Anybody know what's going on here? I think I've done my due diligence checking the forums and docs, but can't find anything like this mentioned....

Thanks.

(I vaguely remember seeing something a while ago about the syntax of /etc/conf.d/net changing, and I might be using the old syntax. Could this be relevant? Seems unlikely, since static config is working, if briefly...)

UPDATE: I just remembered something relevant: I used to use knetworkmanager before the emerge world. The emerge broke that... I couldn't even compile it, but now that I try again, it builds, but downgrades networkmanager and networkmanager-vpnc. Now I'm working through another issue, apparently dbus-related. I'll update when I get through that, but any other hints are appreciated...

Hi, cany you post this :

You can in fact configure dhcpd via dhcpd.conf to leave certain MAC addresses
alone; I think there's an instance in the configuration file example. Probably
the simplest solution; I'm not sure if you can do the same trick with Internet
addresses, so check the docs.
