Subject: [gentoo-user] why a manual dhcpcd eth0 is needed?
Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2011 01:08:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EA24FE7.2080408@gmail.com> (raw)


Hello,

On a recent gentoo install using wicd for network configuration, no
connection is established during boot. After logging in, I need to issue

  dhcpcd eth0

to obtain an IP address and access the internet via ethernet. I thought
wicd would take care of that. I did not emerge dhcpcd, it was emerged as
a dependency of wicd.

What am I missing? I have wicd starting during the boot runlevel.

Thanks for inputs.
