3 Thanks. In fact, it's a bit more complex than I thought yesterday.
4 After moving the '70 80' files into a subdirectory & restarting, I get :
5
6 root:501 ~> dhcpcd
7 dhcpcd[830]: version 5.6.4 starting
8 ... [nothing happens for 10 s ]
9 ^C
10 ... [long delay till machine responds]
11 dhcpcd[830]: no interfaces have a carrier
12 dhcpcd[830]: forked to background, child pid 857
13 root:502 ~> dhcpcd
14 dhcpcd[864]: version 5.6.4 starting
15 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
16 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: rebinding lease of 192.168.1.2
17 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: NAK: from 192.168.1.1
18 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
19 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: broadcasting for a lease
20 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: offered 192.168.1.2 from 192.168.1.1
21 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: acknowledged 192.168.1.2 from 192.168.1.1
22 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: checking for 192.168.1.2
23 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
24 dhcpcd[864]: enp5s0: leased 192.168.1.2 for 86400 seconds
25 dhcpcd[864]: forked to background, child pid 888
26
27 The same happens if I try 'dhcpcd enp5s0',
28 except that the 1st reply is "enp5s0 : removing interface".
29 The name 'enp5s0' has shown up after > 1 restart,
30 so that seems to be what my kernel (gentoo-sources 3.5.3) calls it.
31
32 So I've done what I understand to be recommended,
33 but have to go thro' a stutter before I can get the I/net working.
34
35 I really don't want to have to spend an hour or more
36 reading docs which are largely irrelevant to my very simple case,
37 ie 1 network card accessing an ordinary ISP.
38
39 Further advice is very welcome & I hope I'm helping clarify things
40 for others trying who try to follow the news item
41 & also helping the developer improve his docs.
