I have a laptop computer with an ethernet port, and during bootup dhcpcd gets invoked (twice) to configure a network connection on 'eth0'. I have set
rc_hotplug="* !net.eth0" in /etc/rc.conf and RC_HOTPLUG="yes" RC_COLDPLUG="yes" RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0" in /etc/conf.d/rc (why do these files still both exist after 7 years, especially as they contain duplicate configuration?) I have also set 'noipv4ll' in /etc/dhcpcd.conf. None of these configurations prevent the double automatic initialization attempts for net.eth0. I would just unmerge dhcpcd, but it seems that NetworkManager needs an external dhcp client. What can I do to prevent this behavior? What have I missed? Justin
