When trying to start net.eth0, it errors out with the following: broadway conf.d # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Starting eth0 * Loading networking modules for eth0 * modules: apipa arping iptunnel macchanger macnet rename ifconfig system dhcpcd * ifconfig provides interface * dhcpcd provides dhcp * Configuring eth0 for MAC address 00:0C:6E:DA:93:D4 ... [ ok ] * Bringing up eth0 * "dhcp" * No loaded modules provide ""dhcp"" ("dhcp"_start) [ !! ] The reason I'm marking "major" is because this stops the internet service from loading (although you can run dhcpcd manually and workaround). The problem seems to be that dhcp is stored as "dhcp" (with the quotes) for some reason. The following patch fixes the problem for me: --- net.eth0 2006-05-01 22:25:40.000000000 -0400 +++ net.eth0.new 2006-05-01 22:25:36.000000000 -0400 @@ -607,6 +607,7 @@ # We convert it to an array - this has the added # bonus of trimming spaces! conf=( ${config[config_counter]} ) + conf[0]=`echo ${conf[0]} | sed -e s/\"//g` einfo "${conf[0]}" # Do we have a function for our config? The system started up fine just a day ago and had been running since.
