Post install message suggests to modify "RC_PLUG_SERVICES" in "/etc/conf.d/rc" file. Maybe it's better to edit that suggestion targeting OpenRC configuration: 1. config file is now "/etc/rc.conf" 2. "RC_PLUG_SERVICES" option is now "rc_hotplug" 3. Regarding the option to pass in "rc_hotplug": I'm not sure if "!net.eth* !net.wlan*" (instead of "!net.eth0 !net.wlan0") is correct syntax, but it seems to work in my machine and looks more generic. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-misc/wicd Actual Results: You get this post install message: * Messages for package net-misc/wicd-XXX: * You may need to restart the dbus service after upgrading wicd. * To start wicd at boot, add /etc/init.d/wicd to a runlevel and: * - Remove all net.* initscripts (except for net.lo) from all runlevels * - Add these scripts to the RC_PLUG_SERVICES line in /etc/conf.d/rc * (For example, RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0 !net.wlan0") Expected Results: * Messages for package net-misc/wicd-XXX: * You may need to restart the dbus service after upgrading wicd. * To start wicd at boot, add /etc/init.d/wicd to a runlevel and: * - Remove all net.* initscripts (except for net.lo) from all runlevels * - Add these scripts to the rc_hotplug line in /etc/rc.conf * (For example, rc_hotplug="!net.eth* !net.wlan*") Double check that rc_hotplug="!net.eth* !net.wlan*" is correct syntax for OpenRC config file.
Many thanks Luca! I have applied your solution and !net.eth* is indeed correct syntax.
