Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: X-Archives-Hash: c9f1b9dc6b237b4f1853da32535f1613 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. -- Valmor
