works for me. Don't know how to reproduce.
Created attachment 213475 [details] screenshot of /etc/conf.d/net what info also do you need?
Created attachment 213477 [details] screenshot.png Here is what happens with my vim. Looks like it works.
You can remove empty line before "# ----------- test, I see noproblem", and test again? thanks, Luca > Created an attachment (id=213477) [details] > screenshot.png > > Here is what happens with my vim. Looks like it works. >
(In reply to comment #4) > You can remove empty line before "# ----------- test, I see noproblem", and > test again? Ah, that is how you reproduce it. I still don't know how to fix it though. =/
