 |
|
I have the broadcom_sta driver, its been working perfectly for over a year on my MacBook Pro. An emerge today has somehow stopped dhcpcd from loading for it. I've monkeyed with the config files but haven't found anything wrong and nothing I do makes a difference.
While I'm at it, how do I make openRC ignore net.eth0 status and continue booting so my boots don't take two minutes extra? When its not plugged in, it takes forever to time out.
Pertinent info:
/etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 30 -N"
#wpa_supplicant
wpa_supplicant_eth1=( "-Dwext" )
modules_eth1=( "wpa_supplicant dhcpcd" )
|
wpa_gui indicates that the connection happens, but dhcpcd does not run, so I run it from the root command line, it instantiates and then everything is okay.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Brian

Did your recent emerge upgrade dhcpcd? My wireless stopped working today, and I discovered that my last merge upgraded dhcpcd from 4.0.15 to 5.2.8. Package masking and downgrading dhcpcd got my wireless working again.
