Also see the -x and -M options and the section on Multiple interfaces. A patch for better wording would be welcome :) Because you started dhcpcd on interface wlxf428530bfc87 without -M, all exit operations need to be given the same interface. > By the way, maybe it should also call itself by the name we called it, > dhcpcd5. The idea was that the dhcpcd package (@ version 3 iirc) would be retired at some point. Debian elected to have dhcpcd5 because it was slightly incompatible on the commandline with dhcpcd3. dhcpcd5 in Debian is actually dhcpcd-6.x, so go figure :) Roy
