After upgrading net-misc/dhcpcd from 4.0.15 to 5.2.8, I had no network connection anymore after the next boot. I tried starting dhcpcd manually as root on the command line and that worked fine. So I guess there is just some glue missing in the 5.2.8 release that was there in the 4.0.15 one to let dhcpcd run at the appropriate moment at boot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot Actual Results: no ip address assigned Expected Results: ip address assigned I'm using wireless with wpa_supplicant. My wireless router is a Fritz.box, but I think I took care of the clientid issue. Other people encountered the same issue and mentioned it on the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-857221-highlight-dhcpcd.html (I'll link back there to this bug)
Created attachment 257746 [details] output of emerge --info
Created attachment 257750 [details] my conf.d/net file
Created attachment 257753 [details] my dhcpcd.conf file this file is located in /etc/, but /etc/init.d/dhcpcd mentions /etc/conf.d/ as the presumed location; copying it there as well did not make a difference
Just a note about my experiences with the new DHCPCD. 1. If I run dhcdcd eth1 (on my wireless) by hand as root, it works. 2. But openvpn does not work with the new version of dhcpcd for some reason. No idea why. 3. Going back to 4.X fixed my issues as well.

The commandline of net-misc/dhcpcd-5.2.8 does not accept neither -R, -Y nor -N anymore, therefore the respective lines must be removed from /etc/conf.d/net. Their functionality, still documented at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dhcpcd , can be retained by adding, respectively, "nohook yp.conf resolv.conf ntp.conf" to /etc/dhcpcd.conf (prune the line to the nohooks relevant to you). As the change is vital to many people, I suggest adding a warning into the elog.

Removing -N in my conf.d/net solved the issue for me. Thanks! > [...] I suggest adding a warning into the elog. Seconded.
This was fixed in 5.2.10, but I'm just now closing the bug. Thanks for the report.
This is fixed. :)
