 |
|
Hi. I installed gentoo on my PC.
My network card is called:
I created a symlink in
added
| Code: | | config_enp5s2="dhcp" |
to
I had some problems with ipv4ll address, so I added:
to /etc/dhcpcd.conf
While booting, the boot process stops on
| Code: | | enp5s2: (...) Soliciting DHCP lease |
and after some time it fails.
Immediately I log in as root, run
and network starts correctly.
What I am doing wrong? |

| I always build important modules into kernel so I have no experience with modules, but I think it is possible the module for your NIC is not loaded yet when dhcpcd runs. |

Indeed, it might be a timing issue.
What does ifconfig give after boot, before you run rc?
Also, does rc.log show anything ?
