In fact, it's a bit more complex than I thought yesterday. After moving the '70 80' files into a subdirectory & restarting, I get : root:501 ~> dhcpcd dhcpcd[830]: version 5.6.4 starting ... [nothing happens for 10 s ] ^C ... [long delay till machine responds] dhcpcd[830]: no interfaces have a carrier dhcpcd[830]: forked to background, child pid 857 root:502 ~> dhcpcd dhcpcd[864]: version 5.6.4 starting dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: rebinding lease of 192.168.1.2 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: NAK: from 192.168.1.1 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: broadcasting for a lease dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: offered 192.168.1.2 from 192.168.1.1 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: acknowledged 192.168.1.2 from 192.168.1.1 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: checking for 192.168.1.2 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: leased 192.168.1.2 for 86400 seconds dhcpcd[864]: forked to background, child pid 888 The same happens if I try 'dhcpcd enp5s0', except that the 1st reply is "enp5s0 : removing interface". The name 'enp5s0' has shown up after > 1 restart, so that seems to be what my kernel (gentoo-sources 3.5.3) calls it. So I've done what I understand to be recommended, but have to go thro' a stutter before I can get the I/net working. I really don't want to have to spend an hour or more reading docs which are largely irrelevant to my very simple case, ie 1 network card accessing an ordinary ISP. Further advice is very welcome & I hope I'm helping clarify things for others trying who try to follow the news item & also helping the developer improve his docs. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
