Don't feel bad Alan - for me, also this is very unclear. I upgraded baselayout then got the message my conf.d/net was using deprecated syntax so I went to net.example, copied it to net which is symlinked to net.eth0 (after backing up<G>). I then went through the file and found that it appears iproute2 is now preferred although there are no man pages or docs and it got installed on my system. I use static so I updated the address with the new function per the in-file instructions and set the route. I restarted net.eth0 and immediately lost internet access - I had pop and https but no news or regular http or sync! After much hassle all I did was comment out some nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf and left a couple more and it worked again. To be honest I can't say the upgrade was to blame - I'm checking into the nameservers having issues. |

However, the differences between the old and new or what the new is supposed to do better is very unclear. |
