Back with DHCPCD, but I haven't unmerged dhclient yet ; ) |

I'm going to take your word and try ifplug, however, I installed it and |
| 28 |
it doesn't work. Still pings up /dev/null for all it's doing. I even |
| 29 |
went to rc-update and had it start at boot, though that didn't work. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
My guess is that it's trying to use net.lo (the loopback device) and |
| 32 |
thinks that that's plugged in therefore it tries to ping on everything |
| 33 |
else. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Any suggestions? |
