[gentoo-user] dhcpcd error

[Marco Calviani]

Hi list,
   i'm experiencing some errors with dhcpcd-2.0.0. When i try to run
net.eth1 to start the a wireless device, dhcpcd stops with errors. In
/var/log/dhcpcd.log i can see:

dhcpStart: interface eth1 is not Ethernet or 802.2 Token Ring

What does it means?
Regards,
MC

it seems all related to the fact that when running

# ifconfig -a

eth0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr

eth1 is my ethernet card while eth2 is the wireless interface. What about eth0?
I've nothing set on udev local rules? Where did it come from?

as reported in the gentoo-forums
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-371941-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html?sid=8e8c41c4479fb0beb7100fbdaa74417f

this entry is due to ethernet over firewire. Telling udev to name it
ethfw (for example) solved the problem.


However i ask myself why it has appeared only now....
