ifplugd does not invoke dhcpcd during boot sequence with network cable plugged-in. Same problem exists if I use netplug instead of ifplugd. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug-in network cable 2. Boot machine 3. Check for IP address Actual Results: rc-status shows net.ethN as "inactive". No IP address is obtained. Expected Results: rc-status shows net.ethN as "started". IP address is obtained. (this is what happens with openrc-0.3.0) According to /var/log/messages ifplugd does run, but it exits successfully without actually running dhcpcd. This problem only happens during initial system startup. If the network cable is plugged or unplugged after the machine is started, then ifplugd works as expected, and dhcpcd is invoked.
Same with wpa_supplicant. System doesn't get an IP-address during boot.
Same for me. I have to restart /etc/inet.d/net.eth0 to get the network to work.
Daniel, I believe you were having an issue similar to this. This is probably related to the issue with netplug as well.
thanks, yeah, this sounds like the same thing
I have to manually work around this by doing: sudo ifconfig eth0 down Unplug ethernet cable Replug ethernet cable ifconfig will then correctly run dhcp
This seems to be fixed in 0.4.1 with netplug, so it may be also for the others.
This is fixed in 0.4.1, which is available in the tree.
