After updating to dhcpcd v10, I get this error in the system log: May 7 20:46:18 GRAPHIM daemon.warn /etc/init.d/net.wlan0[5428]: WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive May 7 20:46:23 GRAPHIM user.notice wpa_cli: interface wlan0 CONNECTED May 7 20:46:23 GRAPHIM daemon.err /etc/init.d/net.wlan0[5782]: The dhcpcd version is too old. Please upgrade. May 7 20:46:23 GRAPHIM daemon.err /etc/init.d/net.wlan0[5601]: ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start May 7 20:46:23 GRAPHIM user.notice wpa_cli: executing '/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 --quiet start' failed $ dhcpcd --version dhcpcd 10.0.1 Copyright (c) 2006-2023 Roy Marples Compiled in features: INET ARP ARPing IPv4LL INET6 DHCPv6 AUTH Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to current dhcpcd version (10+) in gentoo repo. 2. Configure a wlan connection to use dhcp: config_wlan0="dhcp" in /etc/conf.d/net 3. Try to start that connection. Actual Results: No error on screen when starting the interface. Error indicated above appears in syslog. The interface won't get an IP and won't work. Expected Results: 1) This error should be displayed on screen when starting the network connection, not just in the syslog. 2) Properly detect that dhcpcd is very new (or not check at all). Bug probably caused by transition to a double-digit major version of dhcpcd (v9 to v10). You should probably check other gentoo components for bugs in version-checking logic, too. Temporary workaround if busybox is installed: config_wlan0="udhcpd"
Please upgrade to >=net-misc/netifrc-0.7.4. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 904422 ***
