Well, one of two things is happening. 1.) net.wlan0 isn't being called during shutdown. Doubtful. 2.) net.wlan0 is called, but errors out before killing dhcpcd. If it's erroring out during shutdown, assuming your syslog daemon hasn't been killed yet, there should be an 'rc-scripts' error message in your logs regarding unable to bring down wlan0. Take a look and see if there is anything there. Cooper. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
