Almost. Startup works but dhcpcd stays "inactive", does not turn "started".
Again some valgrinded output. |

Yes, this time it works, comes up at boot and correctly starts/stops fetchmail.
I will do some more tests for ntpd (net-misc/ntp) later.
EDIT
Regarding ntpd the problem remains as described in bug #52206, regardless if I set rc_ntpd_need="dhcpcd" or or rc_need="net" | wrote: | # /etc/conf.d/ntpd

NTPD_OPTS="-g -u ntp:ntp"
# Need net will caause it wait for dhcpcd
# rc_need="net"
rc_ntpd_need="dhcpcd" |
It simply changes its process id and continues running, sometimes even with 2 process ids. |

So dhcpcd now supports nl80211 correctly.

To be clear to our readers, this is a different issue
I actually added the need in a different way. I'll test my recommended way and I'll get back.

Wanted to test this after recompiling my kernel without WEXT. But cannot get it to work anymore, not even dhcpcd-6.4.3. Turns out that somehow I've lost my /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd.
Could you please post me that file? Why isn't it in portage?

Sorry for confusion. I am now on 9999 and kernel has WEXT disabled. Wired connection works fine stopping and restarting the services but wireless doesn't work at all.
When unplugging the cable, dhcpcd turns and stays [inactive] even though "ps -A | grep wpa" shows that wpa_supplicant is running.
EDIT
My dhcpcd.conf is default without changes. Anything to adjust here? |

No, it's another problem.
| Code: | $ su -c "ifconfig wlp8s0 up"
Password:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
$ /usr/sbin/rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
|
And the button stopped working. I have to check what's wrong here. |

Sorry to say, no. I've got my rfkill issues solved and did several tests, without WEXT and with.
With WEXT enabled everything works perfectly. Dependant services are stopped when wireless is rfkilled or when the access point goes down, and they get restarted when connection is back. Wireless interface goes down when eth0 is plugged and comes up again when unplugged.
With WEXT disabled in the kernel, the wireless interface (according to "ifconfig -a") is up when unplugged and not rfkilled and wpa_gui shows the interface but does not connect. In "rc-config show" dhcpcd remains "[inactive]".
I'm looking forward to your next release in portage, regardless if needs wext or not. |
