As far as eth0, at the moment after dhcpcd eth0 is issued, it is: mac1 wicd # ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx inet addr:192.168.10.7 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4565 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3102 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:5285197 (5.0 MiB) TX bytes:420643 (410.7 KiB) Interrupt:16 Before dhcpcd eth0 is issued eth0 is there, I think, but it does not have an inet addr: assigned to it. I will need to reboot to confirm it. Thanks, -- Valmor
