[gentoo-user] strange error when trying to start network

[covici]

Hi.  I have a network cardwhich I am trying to start and it has worked
before, but today when I tried to start the card, I get the following:
RTNETLINK answers: file exists.  I notice that its not building the
default route.

Here are its configs using baselayout2 and openrc 5.2-r1

config_eth1="67.62.15.196 netmask 255.255.255.0 "
routes_eth1="default via 67.62.15.1"

I had default gw in the routes, but it seemed to say that if mo module
was specified iproute2 was used so I changed to default via, but no joy.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

in network:


ifconfig_eth0="67.62.15.196 netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultroute="67.62.15.1"

No joy, it did not like those parameters at all.   When I put
ifconfig_eth1 it just said no config using dhcp, and when I changed it
to config_eth1, it did not like defaultroute.

This only applies if you have switched to new style networking scripts, 
doesn't it?

What are new style networking scripts -- which package is that.  The
/etc/conf.d/net.example seems not to have changed since May.

The ones that come with newer versions of openrc. If you decide to use them, 
your configuration now goes into network, but you also have to use the 
corresponding init script.

I do have openrc 0.5.2-r1 -- is there some documentation of the new
style?  For dhcp things still work correctly in /etc/conf.d/net  and
even for a static one  if I don't need a default route, it seems to work.

Just to let people know, the solution was just a reboot, I didn't need
to go to the new style of netowrk, which I have a lot of questions about
anyway, but this is all that was necessary.  Very strange indeed.

Nobody said you need to. According to Roy Marples old style will stay for some 
time.

Best place to do this is on openrc-discuss@marples.name.

and that is why I wrote 'in network'

But it's only half of the truth. Editing /etc/conf.d/network doesn't have any 
effect unless you also drop the old init scripts (net.*) and use the new one 
(network).

I had a typo in network.

I did not had network in default.

net did not start correctly.
