Of course that doesn't help with my problem, since I cannot connect wired even when bypassing wicd. I was hoping for some hints which packages might be involved with finding a wired connection. The kernel certainly, maybe udev, openrc (when using /etc/init.d/net.eth0), but which others? And how can I reconfigure those to let me debug what's going on? Cheers, Peter.
