Net not starting at boot. [Solved]

[Red Knuckles]

After doing:

Code: Select all

# zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/config
# genkernel --kernel-config=/usr/src/config --menuconfig --bootloader=grub --gensplash=sabayon all
# eix-sync && layman -S
# emerge -e system || until emerge --resume --skipfirst; do emerge --resume --skipfirst; done
# update [about 1/2 done 300 of 595 packages emerged

when I reboot Net doesn't work. I can get it to work by setting static IP with 'net-setup' but I have do do so every time I reboot. Is there any way to make this permenent? Is there any way to get DHCP to work again? I am not using KNetworkManager right now. Here's '/etc/conf.d/net':

# This network configuration was written by net-setup.
iface_eth0="192.168.15.3 broadcast 192.168.15.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway="eth0/192.168.15.1"

I've tried setting /etc/conf.d/net' to:

# This network configuration was written by ME.
config_eth0="192.168.15.3 broadcast 192.168.15.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes="eth0/192.168.15.1"

So I'm either not doing it right or another file needs changing???

why don't you try setting up your network according to the gentoo handbook

[wolfden]

more than likely you updated your dhcp, check your version, anything greater than 3.0.6 wont work with knetworkmanager

You're right. Kinda of a stupid post on my part. RTFM Red! The answers are here:

for anyone as inclined, as I sometimes am, of forgetting to search or simply look in Handbook or Wiki. In defense I was involved with a number of package management issues as well as my first install of Gentoo at the time. Installing Gentoo is, well, different, and arguably more work than some flavors or BSD. Great learning experience though. I've only begun...

Correct. I have dhcp 3.1.0 now and dhcpcd 3.1.3 now. DHCP is convenient but am I imagining that my 'net works faster with static IP and DNS set to 4.2.2.3 or 4.2.2.4 [Comcast Broadband Colorado, USA]? Will the dhcp knetworkmanager conflict be fixed? Probably, I would think.
