Hi all, |

My only issue with dhcpcd in system is this: |

My isp is also comcast cable which uses dhcp. I also use dhcp for my home network, so my linux box is functioning as a dhcp client (for comcast) and dhcp server (for my home network). |

To get the dhcp server, you have to install the isc dhcp package. This also includes a dhcp client (dhclient). |

In other words, I have 2 dhcp clients on my system, which is not necessary. |

I would vote for a virtual/dhcp-client package which could be provided by the dhcpcd package and also by the isc dhcp package to prevent this. |

I'm not sure how much work this would require though to be sure that the net.* scripts in baselayout supported all of the dhcp clients gentoo supports. What do you think? |
