It means you kernel is too old for that feature.
Due to the wisdom the of the linux kernel devs, we have no way of knowing if it exists at compile time so we force the value but only show an error with debugging enabled.
OK, so it does appear to be working. Could be a race somewhere. Try changing your kernel hack to this
| Code: | rmmod module
sleep 3
insmod module |
Or this
| Code: |
dhcpcd -x
rmmod module
insmod module
dhcpcd -d

There is a bug that causes the driver to fail to connect anywhere when the card came out of resume. rmmod+insmod is the "official" workaround. | UberLord wrote: | Going to assume that the interface it will add is allowed.

You shouldn't need that with dhcpcd-6.4.5 |
I have updated today after spotting the update. Haven't tried out whether the issue might be fixed completely with the new version. I'll reply to that once I have tested it. |
One try with the new version yesterday. After wakeup the network status applet showed that the device does not exist (module not loaded), after a second it changed to "not connected", a second later it changed to "connected". Tried a ping on google, it worked.
Wow. That new version of dhcpcd really seemed to do do the trick! Thank you very much!

I have an issue here. I have gone through a huge upgrade (stayed months without upgrading) and a lot of packages have been touched so I have really no idea what causes this. Anyway.
I'm running kernel 3.16.6, OpenRC 0.12.4 (without netifrc) and dhcpcd 6.4.7. I noticed when the computer rebooted the loopback interface is down (causing a few services not to start) and I have to either enable /etc/init.d/loopback (which I'd like to avoid) or bring lo up manually and restart all depending services... which I'd like to avoid as well  . Is there a reason dhcpcd would not bring up lo?

dhcpcd does not bring up a loopback interface unless instructed to.
EDIT: To be fair, I've never tested it bringing one up either

Thanks, Roy. I must confess I crawled the man page several times but couldn't find a hint. Is it through a hook of some sort?

The default value for allowinterfaces is nothing, which is to say allow all interfaces except for loopback and pointopoint interfaces.
As to the latter, well that's a good question.
I suppose that if allowinterfaces is NOT defined in the config, we could append it in code.

So is 'allowinterfaces lo *' actually equivalent to just adding lo or does it also add pointtopoint interfaces?

Does that even make sense at all? I mean creating a specific configuration for an interface while not letting dhcpcd discover it?
Because otherwise I'd say add it to allowinterfaces unless it's in denyinterfaces. |

Heh, yeah it does by virtue of the *

Yes in my mind it does make sense.
Take apache, or any server daemon, with allow/deny directives. They override any other setting. dhcpcd takes the same approach.

Hmm I agree it should just add a configured interface; it seems odd to have allow everything, and really I'd just want whatever I configure as root to be added to the set, without needing to do anything else.
Apologies if I'm missing some subtlety. |

I forgot about that post but anyway the first post in this topic, which is *the* reference, has already been updated.

Well, not sure if this was the intent but let's not confuse *configuring* an interface and *bring it up/down*, which aren't the same thing. To me at least. As a matter of fact, leaving allowinterfaces blank doesn't stop dhcpcd from configuring the interface. The directive must include lo to also bring it up.

VinzC ......pssssst
have a look at RedHat and CentOS scripts "ifnetup and ifnetdown"
they usually work fine and might help you and us all  |

I prefer dhcpcd's simplicity though. One script, one config, fits most cases. I know CentOS/RH network management but I still find it too complex for the simplest setup.

It's better to post a link to a [url], usually from a version-control web-interface, if you want people to look at stuff. |
