Nope. Shutting down manually: [Thu Mar 31] root:/etc/conf.d$ /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stop * Unmounting network filesystems ... [ ok ] * Unmounting NFS filesystems ... [ ok ] * Stopping NFS statd ... [ ok ] * Stopping portmap ... [ ok ] * Stopping wlan0 * Bringing down wlan0 * Stopping dhcpcd on wlan0 ... [ ok ] * Shutting down wlan0 ... [ ok ] Starting: Thu Mar 31] root:/etc/conf.d$ /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start * Starting wlan0 * Configuring wireless network for wlan0 * wlan0 connected to "Arachne" at ............ * in managed mode (WEP enabled - restricted) * Bringing up wlan0 * dhcp * Running dhcpcd ... [ ok ] * wlan0 received address 192.168.1.5 Then, at shutdown, everything, including dhcpcd, flits by the screen as in the "stop" stuff above. However, reboot delivers the same "dhcpcd already running." It is a conundrum. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
