Description Leonard Khoo 2006-12-01 11:13:49 UTC

After upgrade to net-misc/dhcpcd-3.0.1 from net-misc/dhcpcd-2.0.8-r3. I get this in my dmesg.

sky2 eth0: enabling interface
sky2 eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control both
sky2 eth0: disabling interface

I have to manually do /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start and it will bring up the interface perfectly.

vaxen@homer ~ $ cat /etc/conf.d/net
modules=("ifconfig")
config_eth0=("dhcp")
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 20"

Same problem here.  Tell me if I need to post specific info.

Comment 2 Karel De Vriendt 2006-12-02 01:49:00 UTC

Downgrading to version 3.0.0 does not help.  I had to download to version 2.0.8-r3

I second this problem. However, it only happens on my laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro V2020, Realtek 8139 NIC) while dhcpcd-3.x works on my desktop (VIA EPIA-MII, Via Rhine-II NIC).

dhcpcd-3 never disables the interface.

However, it may a timeout issue causing the Gentoo init scripts to disable the interface.

Please test the tarball at http://dev.gentoo.org/~uberlord/dhcpcd-3.0.2_pre2.tar.bz2 and see if that fixes this problem or not.
