[solved] netcfg fails with no apparent reason

So, I'm trying to set up a very simple profile with netcfg:

CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='ok'
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='dhcp'

Here's what happens when I try to bring it up:

DEBUG: Loading profile eth0-dhcp
DEBUG: Configuring interface eth0
:: eth0-dhcp up
DEBUG: status reported to profile_up as:
DEBUG: Loading profile eth0-dhcp
DEBUG: Configuring interface eth0
DEBUG: ethernet_iproute_up ifup
 > No connection
DEBUG: profile_up connect failed
   [FAIL]

If I just do

sudo ifconfig eth0 up
sudo dhcpcd eth0

, the network works fine.
So, what might be the root of my problems with netcfg?

Bump. Should I submit a bug report?

Re: [solved] netcfg fails with no apparent reason

How long does it take for the interface to come up when you do it manually?
Looking at what looks like the relevant lines of code (30-40) it could be a timeout issue, though not necessarily. You could manually try the commands issued in the scripts at that time.

Just thinking aloud as, if it is a bug, then any info will be useful and netcfg is/has just getting a new maintainer, I think.

sudo ifconfig eth0 up takes less than a second (well, no surprise here), but sudo dhcpcd eth0 takes about 20 seconds before getting an IP and forking to background.

UPD: I increased CARRIER_TIMEOUT in my profile and now everythin works fine. Thanks, skanky smile

Nice one. smile

Though it might be worth looking to see if there's a reason for the 20 seconds and if it can be reduced - often not, but you never know.
