if you look back at the log it says: Sep 18 15:28:14 firewall dhcpcd[11737]: version 6.7.1 starting Sep 18 15:28:14 firewall dhcpcd[11737]: forked to background, child pid 11740 Sep 18 15:28:14 firewall dnsmasq[11765]: directory /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf for resolv-file is missing, cannot poll Sep 18 15:28:14 firewall dnsmasq[11765]: FAILED to start up you see that dnsmasq complains it doesn’t even find the directory /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf, and hence the file. It looks as if the #background fix might not be that bad after all… if slows down dnsmasq but more importantly it gives time to dhcpcd to create the dir and the file ! I was wondering, as a test, if in the init.d we could have a small process to "touch /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf" before dnsmasq starts, dnsmasq would find the file empty, and try to read it later, I saw it do that in BUC 5.1.7 ! Is it possible to do that without making an lrp package, just using local save of an eventual /etc/init.d/touch.sh :-) ? I hope you’r all having fun with this !!! Since it now works for me, I don’t want you to loose your precious time on a ~solved problem, and I would leave it at that.
