[gentoo-user] Big emerge world killed networking

[gentoo-user] Big emerge world killed networking

[Grant]

Hello, I've been gone for a couple months and now I'm back.  I did a
big emerge world to catch up and I noticed a lot of networking-related
packages were updated like wpa_supplicant and baselayout.  dhcpcd was
updated, but I know that update worked fine because I did it
separately a couple days before the world update.  When I boot up now
and the ath_pci module is autoloaded for my wireless card, there is a
big dump of stuff on the screen and then a seg fault message.  This is
after the kernel stuff and during the runlevel stuff.  When it tries
to start net.ath0, it says:

Cannot default to dhcp as there is no dhcp module loaded

A subsequent manual 'modprobe ath_pci' works just fine, but the dhcp
error persists when trying to start the network interface.  I also get
the dhcp error when trying to use dhcp with the net.eth0 interface.

Does anyone have any ideas?

You may need to add a "modules=( "dhcpcd" "other_modules_you_need" )" line 
to /etc/conf.d/net.

Read /etc/conf.d/net.example to get the details.

Nice Dirk, but now I get:

We require dhcpcd-1.3.22_p4-r10

and I have r11 which is the latest stable.  r10 isn't even in the
tree.  Would upgrading to ~x86 dhcpcd 2.0.0 possibly fix this?

At least on my laptop I have dhcpcd 2.0.0 and I don't get this error, so 
chances are good :-)

Upgrading to dhcpcd-2.0.0 did fix that error but wpa_supplicant just
times out trying to connect now.  Any suggestions?  I would think the
only thing to do would be to run back through my packages of network
related stuff from before this big upgrade.

Upgrading to ~x86 wpa_supplicant fixed this.
