I am having a problem with DHCP on eth0. It is not working from /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start after boot but after signon I can run # dhcpcp eth0 and get an immediate IP etc. The /etc/conf.d is modules=( "iproute2" ) ipaddr_eth0=( "dhcp" ) dhcpcd_eth0="-h custom2 -t 10" /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart stops dependent services and again fails to get an IP. # dhcpcd -t 10 -h custom2 eth0 followed by /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start shows the service as starting properly using the aready received network setting but fails to restart any of the dependent services it stopped while stopping. On my notebook, with nothing in /etc/conf.f/net, dhcpcd sometime works when called from the init script and sometimes times out. It too always works instantly when dhcpcd is called from the command line. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.reboot 2.dhcpcd is called but times out 3.

I just released 1.11.4 with some fixes related to module loading... I know it doesn't sound related, but it actually might be. If you could give it a try I'd appreciate it.
I just tried 1.11.4 on my Workstation. /etc/init.d/net.etho restart is now getting an IP but it takes aproximately 20-30 secs from the time it says it is running dhcpcd. There also seems to be something wrong in the patch to /etc/conf.d/rc near the top. The header area was messed up after accepting the new version in dispatch-conf.
Fixed in CVS - will be in baselayout-1.11.7
Fixed in baselayout-1.11.7-r2
