network settings lost

davidsrsb · 07-28-2005, 04:09 AM

10.1 + current, stock 2.4.31 kernel
Since the sysvinit update a few days ago, everytime I start my desktop I have no network.
Route shows that there is no default gateway set

Running netconfig I sets the correct values in rc.inet1.conf and then manually running rc.inet1 starts networking. Restarting the PC loses these settings. There is also a rc.inet1.conf.new file with blanks.

Did you replace inet1.new to inet1 in /etc/rc.d ?

(same for rc.M, rc.S and eventually rc.K ?)

Note that I am not talking about conf files but init scripts instead

No rc.inet1.new file
I just used swaret --upgrade.
If I have to copy across the rc.script.new files to rc.script then it would have been a good idea to say so somewhere in the changelog.
Looking at the filelist for the sysvinit package I don't see a rc.inet1 entry

Do you use hotplug ? if yes did you update it as well

from the ChangeLog :

Code:

Sun Jul 24 17:50:37 PDT 2005
a/hotplug-2004_09_23-noarch-3.tgz:  Modified net.agent to use the new
  rc.inet1 syntax (thanks to Eric Hameleers), and added several new
  framebuffer modules and the eth1394 module to the blacklist.

I did update hotplug as well. The file list for the hotplug package does not show any rc.inet1 file. I am puzzled which package has done this.

Edit: Found it, it was tcip-0.17 on 24th July that updated rc.inet1
