I just discovered the following messages while booting:
Code:

 * Bringing up interface eth0
 *   Skipping module adsl due to missing program: /usr/sbin/adsl-start /usr/sbin/pppoe-start
 *   Skipping module br2684ctl due to missing program: br2684ctl
 *   Skipping module clip due to missing program: /usr/sbin/atmsigd
 *   Skipping module ethtool due to missing program: ethtool
 *   Skipping module netplugd due to missing program: /sbin/netplugd
 *   Skipping module ifplugd due to missing program: /usr/sbin/ifplugd
 *   Skipping module ipppd due to missing program: /usr/sbin/ipppd
 *   Skipping module pppd due to missing program: /usr/sbin/pppd
 *   Skipping module dhclient due to missing program: /sbin/dhclient
 *   Skipping module pump due to missing program: /sbin/pump
 *   Skipping module dhcpcd due to missing program: dhcpcd
 *   Loaded modules: apipa arping bonding tuntap bridge ccwgroup macvlan macchanger macnet wpa_supplicant ssidnet iproute2 system vlan udhcpc ip6to4
 *   Configuring eth0 for MAC address 00:1B:21:22:46:10 ...
 [ ok ]
 *   192.168.1.3 ...
 *     ip addr add 192.168.1.3/24 broadcast 192.168.1.255 dev eth0
 [ ok ]
 *   Adding routes
 *     default via 192.168.1.1 ...
 [ ok ]


I saw within the initscript that they refer to "nettree". But i can't find the place where this is configured, so i could set, that the mentioned modules (like adsl, pppd etc.) are not needed and so no need to even try to load them. Or is this not possible and i have to live with these messages?

norg,

The files the script is referencing are located at /lib/rc/net and /lib/rc/init.d/nettree.

The files in /lib/rc/net belong to sys-apps/openrc

Your message is strange given that I don't have most of the packages that the skipping message refers to, but I get no messages.

Did you modify anything in /etc/rc.conf or any other configuration file?

I just enabled the rc logger in the rc.conf, the rest is default rc.conf. It came with a update. It's no big deal but i was wondering about it.
I could post the rc.conf and what other configuration files should i check?

norg,

This is all I get from net.lo when I execute it with
Code:
sh -x /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start 2>&1 | tee ~/start.test


Code:
* Bringing up interface eth0
 *   192.168.1.102 ... [ ok ]
 *   Adding routes
 *     default via 192.168.1.1 ... [ ok ]


The only file I know that's referenced is /etc/conf.d/net and mine contains:
Code:
config_eth0="192.168.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255"
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.1.1"

Also, there's only one network interface configured in the kernel for this installation.

I have similar problem and no clue how to get rid of these messages.

I have other PC where this problem doesn't exist.
/etc/conf.d/net are very similar on both (just different IPs).
One is x86 and the other is amd64 but I don't know if that matters.

BTW equery b nettree doesn't show any packages.

The one without problem has rc_hotplug="!net.*" in /etc/rc.conf because I was using wicd. Now I don't use wicd, just /etc/init.d/net.eth0 but forgot to change that line.
I'll have to check if that's relevant to this case.
