I have been getting annoyed at dhcpcd, which will take 180 seconds to |
6 |
ping even if there isn't a networking cable in my NIC. I use a laptop, |
7 |
so you can easily speculate how I got so annoyed. |

I know that Kubuntu had the ability to detect whether there was a cable |
10 |
in my laptop and ping accordingly. I looked at my Kubuntu workstation |
11 |
and found that it's using dhclient. I installed dhcpd on my laptop and |
12 |
tried my best to make it work. I got the following: |

If there's anything wrong there, I'd love to know : ) |
73 |
|
74 |
Also, just as proof that I'm not a total and complete idiot: |
75 |
|
76 |
localhost lsauron # cat /etc/conf.d/net |
77 |
iface_eth0="dhclient" |
78 |
iface_eth1="dhclient" |
79 |
iface_eth2="dhclient" |
80 |
iface_eth3="dhclient" |
81 |
iface_eth4="dhclient" |
82 |
dhclient_eth0="" |
83 |
|
84 |
Once again, if I'm doing anything wrong... please tell me. |
85 |
|
86 |
I did check the gentoo-wiki, and found a most excellent how-to for |
87 |
running dhcpd to make my own dhcp server, however, comcast hates it |
88 |
when people do stuff like that because it compromises their network |
89 |
speed (what's left of it, anyways). |
90 |
|
91 |
I've done my job, and tried my best. I now look to the more wise and |
92 |
experienced to help. Thanks in advance for any insights! |

(PS: whoever made rc-update, you're a genius! Wish I had it on |
95 |
Kubuntu!) |
