Yes, I had seen that. Of course that doesn't help with my problem, since I |

cannot connect wired even when bypassing wicd. |

I was hoping for some hints which packages might be involved with finding a |
| 31 |
wired connection. The kernel certainly, maybe udev, openrc (when using |
| 32 |
/etc/init.d/net.eth0), but which others? And how can I reconfigure those to |
| 33 |
let me debug what's going on? |
