Description Thorsten Kampe 2005-10-12 04:48:27 UTC
Baselayout 1.12.0-pre9 requires iproute2 for /etc/init.d/net.eth0 - although 
module ifconfig is specified

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install baselayout 1.12.0-pre9
2. update all your config files in /etc
3. restart machine
4. /etc/init.d/net.eth0 fails with

Actual Results:  
no network connection anymore

Expected Results:  
start the lan interface eth0

the error message is:
Starting eth0
For iproute2 support, emerge sys-apps/iproute2

My setup is simple (/etc/conf.d/net)

#modules=iproute2
modules=ifconfig
modules_eth0=dhcpcd

config_eth0=(dhcp
             "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0")

#config_eth0=("10.160.99.96 netmask 255.255.252.0"
#             "192.168.0.2  netmask 255.255.255.0")

dhcpcd_eth0="-N -t 5"

This explicitly specifies ifconfig as module. net-tools are installed.

Futher details:
emerging iproute2 fixes the problem
it's not possible normally to emerge becuase lan interface is down
1.12.0-pre8-r2 had no problem
