*I once used etc-update without knowing exactly what I was doing and in
*the process overwrote my network startup script(s).  I have 
*been able to
*recover from that, however every time I logon for the first time I now
*have to run dhcpcd to get the network to come up (be configured?).  I
*have looked through a lot of documentation but I am still 
*confused as to
*how to get this to start automatically now.  I don't want to 
*do something
*else that will mess up the system again, so I thought I would post it
*here first.
*
*I think that I have to run this command "rc-update add net.XXX default"
*where "XXX" is the name of my interface.  Is that so?  Or do I need to
*run "rc-update add dhcpcd default" or something else entirely?
*

first check 

/etc/runlevels/default for net.XXX

if it's not there

rc-update add net.eth0 default (example)

if it is there edit

/etc/conf.d/net.XXX and enable dhcp in that file 


hope that helps


Regards
Wayne
