Glad to hear to you got somewhere with this effort! :-) |

If you configure your /etc/conf.d/net for wwan0 (or whatever it is now called) |
| 47 |
to use dhcpcd you should not need to manually attempt getting an IP address: |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
config_wwan0="dhcpc" |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Don't forget to create a symlink for your interface in /etc/init.d/net.lo: |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
cd /etc/init.d |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
ln -s net.lo net.wwan0 |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
rc-update add net.wwan0 default |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
PS. No idea if NM will barf with these settings, but this is the vanilla |
| 60 |
gentoo approach to network configuration and it will deal with the non-admin |
| 61 |
user problem. |
