Hi Damian |
21 |
|
22 |
I had a similar problem with my machine when I first started using |
23 |
Gentoo, but I then discovered sys-apps/netplug. Install that and all |
24 |
should be well. You might want to check your RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING |
25 |
variable (in /etc/conf.d/rc) is the way you want it, but otherwise |
26 |
there isn't any extra configuration required. |
27 |
|
28 |
I realise you've already got your original problem sorted, but |
29 |
hopefully this helps others. |
