network restart issue.

Hi guys... It's only a small amount of time I'm using Arch, but I already fall in love with it...

anyway.

I had a problem restarting the network services and looking in the source of /etc/rc.d/network I found there were a bad reference to the file dhcpcd-eth0.pid.
For this reason it didn't succeed in removing that file with the result of leaving the connection down.

the problem was at the line 44 of that file, and the line:

rm -f /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-${1}.{pid,cache} >/dev/null 2>&1

must be changed to:

rm -f /var/run/dhcpcd-${1}.{pid,cache} >/dev/null 2>&1.

the Arch I'm using is the latest current and it is up-to-date.

Where should I post this or to who should I report the issue?

I'm bit busy at the moment so I have no time to read the forum's guide...

Thank you all for this great distro...

So that's why i get

Error, wlan0: dhcpcd already running (/var/run/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid)

all the time!...

Re: network restart issue.

I've just edited /etc/rc.d/network according to the first post...
Now the edited /etc/powersave/sleep is able to successfully restart the network service
