[gentoo-user] conf.d/net config syntax

[gentoo-user] conf.d/net config syntax

[Jean Magnan de Bornier]

Hi all,
I have a very simple conf.d/net file:

.................................
iface_eth0="dhcp"
ifconfig_eth0=( "dhcp" )
#ipaddr-eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 30"
fallback_eth0=( "194.199.136.151 netmask 255.255.255.0 " )
fallback_route_eth0=( "default via 194.199.136.250" )

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
# Users of madwifi add this:
#wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dmadwifi"
# Users of Intel ipw2100/2200 (Centrino) chips with older kernels add this:
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dipw"
#wpa_timeout_ath0=60
# As of kernel 2.6.15 (and probably earlier), centrino users have to use
#wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_eth1=60
..................................


Today I modified somehow the first six lines, to obtain a good behaviour
of the fallback, and I got it (everything but wireless works well); but
since these modifications, I get this message:

You are using a depreciated configuration syntax for eth0
You are advised to read /etc/conf.d/net.example and upgrade it accordingly

Well I've read it, and I don't really see my fault; so out of curiosity
where is the problem (again, it works well); I also tried commenting out
the first line, it has no effect!
  
tia,

instead of iface_eth0="dhcp" or ifconfig_eth0=("dhcp"), you want
to write config_eth0=( "dhcp" )

Yes! No more complaint!

Just checking here:
1. Have you done a etc-update since your last emerge sync && emerge world?
2. Is your net.eth0 linked to your net.lo?
3. Similarly with you net.eth1?
