The way you configure your network settings have changed, you should look at the rc.conf.pacnew file to see how it should work now

Sounds like you should modify your signature :-D

Always check for .pacnew after an update.

Re: Warning: This functionality is deprecated

From the new rc.conf:

# Use 'ip addr' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available interfaces.
#
# Wired network setup
#   - interface: name of device (required)
#   - address: IP address (leave blank for DHCP)
#   - netmask: subnet mask (ignored for DHCP)
#   - gateway: default route (ignored for DHCP)
# 
# Static IP example
# interface=eth0
# address=192.168.0.2
# netmask=255.255.255.0
# gateway=192.168.0.1
#
# DHCP example
# interface=eth0
# address=
# netmask=
# gateway=

interface=
address=
netmask=
gateway=

I did backup my old rc.conf... then i copy the new rc.conf to the original rc.conf... restart but the network did not work.. so i restore the rc.conf backup. I dont really understand what to do. Please can you give more information?

Re: Warning: This functionality is deprecated

If you use DHCP, then make sure it says

interface=eth0

if you have other settings, then please transfer them from your old rc to your new one, looking at them side-by-side should make it fairly obvious how they fit together. The only thing that I know of that doesn't have a place in this new configuration is the broadcast setting, I think that was placed somewhere else?

There are a bunch of threads about the rc.conf changes. Please search the forums to find your answers. Those threads detail every step you need to take in order for you to get your network working.

Re: Warning: This functionality is deprecated

Perhaps when you made the changes in rc.conf to the new method, you made errors in typing so the network then failed.

Perhaps also the new rc.conf did not get installed in place of the original (old rc.conf).

Try the procedure again....

Re: Warning: This functionality is deprecated

I had the same issue and found that if I hadn't set the "interface" parameter in the updated /etc/rc.conf, then the message appeared. I had left this blank as I was using networkmanager; removing "network" from the "DAEMONS" parameter fixed it for me.
