I assume you have no ifplugd installed - but from what I undestand wicd works in a similar fashion (i.e. it runs dhcpcd) - so I can't really explain this. What do you get in /var/log/messages when you run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start. It should start dhcpcd by default (even without a /etc/conf.d/net). > I don't have wireless working yet; need to check on the driver (wireless > is also broadcom).

You'll probably need to install b43-fwcutter and follow the instructions here (depending on your wireless NIC): http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 -- Regards, Mick
