My laptop sees use in a couple of environments. When I'm home I can plug it into wired ethernet, but most other places I plug in a cellular data USB stick. I've rigged the necessary rules in /etc/udev/rules.d to start /etc/init.d/net.ppp2 when it is plugged in. A couple of months ago it was working fine, but then I upgraded a lot of packages and since then the services which "need net" are not starting up correctly. They try to start when I turn on the laptop but output some message about how they're waiting for eno1 (the wired ethernet). Despite the fact that the net.ppp2 provides the "net" functionality and I have rc_depend_strict="NO" in my /etc/rc.conf, starting net.ppp2 does not allow the remainder of my net-dependent services to start automatically. They'll only start if I plug in the ethernet cable (which activates eno1). What setting am I missing to enable the services to start when "net" is provided by net.ppp2 instead of net.eno1? Reproducible: Always
I'm currently working around the problem by doing tgt=${1:-default} for dn_ in /etc/runlevels/"$tgt"/*; do dn=`basename $dn_` [ -e /var/lib/init.d/started/$dn ] || /etc/init.d/$dn start done I'm pretty sure the directory is not /var/lib/init.d any more, but I have not dug far enough to figure out where it moved, and trying to start the service twice is harmless.

i'm not exactly sure what the problem here is, but the bug is somewhere in net-misc/netifrc or sys-apps/openrc, so reassigning to correct maintainers: $ qfile -b -v net.lo net-misc/netifrc-0.2.3 (/etc/init.d/net.lo) $ qfile -b -v net.sh net-misc/netifrc-0.2.3 (/lib/udev/net.sh) $ qfile -b -v 90-network.rules net-misc/netifrc-0.2.3 (/lib/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules) $ qfile -b -v rc.conf sys-apps/openrc-0.12.4 (/etc/rc.conf) 90-network.rules triggers net.sh and net.sh purposely skips ppp* but is likely the cause of eno* triggering, I suppose you could try... $ ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules ...to disable the hotplugging altogether?
You're starting net.ppp2 manually from the perspective of openrc, and this factors into the dependency checks. Rather than your loop I would suggest you use: 'openrc --no-stop', and it will start all other services that are presently eligible to start. Of the services you have with 'need net', what do they actually need? If you only have local connectivity, can they run? sshd for example if it's listening on 0.0.0.0, does NOT have 'need net'. putting rc_need="!net" in their /etc/conf.d/$svcname files can help you as well. Beyond that, if this is still a problem, please reopen the bug.
