Hi, |
| 2 |
I've been using wicd for quite awhile on my laptop and it works fine |
| 3 |
with both wired and wireless interfaces. However I'm using it more |
| 4 |
lately where I have to boot the machine from scratch. In this case I |
| 5 |
face a rather long delay once or possibly twice during boot. |
| 6 |
Basically, the boot scripts say the networking interfaces aren't |
| 7 |
turned on so it attempts to run dhcpd. I do not enable nor have I even |
| 8 |
added net.eth0 or net.wlan0 in rc-update. (I think that's correct, and |
| 9 |
it does work.) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Anyway, I'm wondering if this delay is normal behavior for wicd? |
| 12 |
Everything works fine but I have to wait 30-60 second, once or twice, |
| 13 |
for dhcpd while booting. I suspect that's not necessary. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Getting on the network once I'm up is reasonably fast. The only |
| 16 |
thing I found Googling delay & wicd was people waiting 3 minutes to |
| 17 |
find wireless networks. I don't have that problem. |

Not sure what data to provide other than the files below. |
