My eth0/enp2s0 network adapter is configured so: $ cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_enp2s0="192.168.179.20/24" but on boot, I get a bonjour address: enp2s0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:BA:4E:29:99:9E inet addr:*169.254.71.117 * Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 if I restart the service immediately after boot, nothing much happens, I still get the bonjour address. sudo rc-service net.enp2s0 restart Incidently, dhcpcd is still running at this point. But after a couple of tries: sudo rc-service net.enp2s0 restart and then I get my connection: $ ifconfig enp2s0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:BA:4E:29:99:9E inet addr:*192.168.179.20* Bcast:192.168.179.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 And: $ sudo rc-service dhcpcd status * status: *crashed* From /var/log/syslog: **** [ 260.895907] dhcpcd[6664]: segfault at 400a00000000 ip 0000560edbf464bd sp 00007ffe06bf4f10 error 4 in dhcpcd[560edbf23000+46000]* * Why does dhcpcd think it can configure my interface and what's the connection between /etc/conf.d/net and dhcpcd?
