On my wired machine that works out of the box I have:
[wired-default]
afterscript = None
use_static_dns = False
dhcphostname = lpt1
dns3 = None
postdisconnectscript = None
dns1 = None
search_domain = None
dns_domain = None
lastused = True
broadcast = None
default = 1
netmask = None
dns2 = None
beforescript = None
profilename = wired-default
predisconnectscript = None
ip = None
gateway = None
use_global_dns = False
On the machine I have to issue a manual dhcpcd eth0 I have:
[wired-default]
ip
broadcast
netmask
gateway
search_domain
dns_domain
dns1
dns2
dns3
beforescript
afterscript
predisconnectscript
postdisconnectscript
default = True
dhcphostname = mac1
Don't know whether the missing values make a difference. As far as
eth0, at the moment after dhcpcd eth0 is issued, it is:
mac1 wicd # ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
inet addr:192.168.10.7 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:5285197 (5.0 MiB) TX bytes:420643 (410.7 KiB)
Interrupt:16
Before dhcpcd eth0 is issued eth0 is there, I think, but it does not
have an inet addr: assigned to it. I will need to reboot to confirm
it.
