[gentoo-user] Re: dhcpcd 2.0.0 - Boot process hangs

 OK, I tried again. I do get an IP, I can connect to the internet, but
 the dhcpcd-process does not finish. In a working gentoo environment that
  is not a big problem, but while booting, this is bad.

The dhcpcd process must not finish. Imagine a DHCP-lease that is invalid
after 10 minutes. The dhcpcd must regularly (well, before the lease is
invalidated by the server) renew the lease.

 But the boot process stops, and I can't work with my gentoo box. It does
 not with the old version. So something is broken, maybe my configs,
 maybe the ebuild.

Well, usually i'd say that the dhcpcd-process should daemonized itself
somehow, so that the boot-process continues.

I don't have any problems with the upgrade to dhcpcd, but i know of one
friend that has problems with his network-card. Getting a DHCP-address
taked about 20 seconds with that NIC and i don't know why.
