I believe the problem is much deeper than that and while your |
| 14 |
observations are valid, you don't have a root cause yet. You just have |
| 15 |
a happy symptom that works with your specific configuration. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Here's what I've found after much up & down-grading and rebooting: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
First, I've had netmount in the default runlevel for ages and it's |
| 20 |
worked for ages even though it does nothing. |
| 21 |
Second, openrc has been launching "dhcpcd -q" at boot time for ages and |
| 22 |
this has never interfered with wicd which comes along later. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
openrc-0.8.* always works with any kernel version |
| 25 |
openrc-0.9* work with kernel-3.2.5 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
openrc-0.9* does not work with kernel-3.2.6, giving these errors: |
| 28 |

That looks to me like avahi is all confused and tripping over what |
| 59 |
openrc & wicd do properly. I'd say the root cause is a change in |
| 60 |
kernel-3.2.6 that was not tested against. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
So, what's the next debugging step? |
