[SOLVED] netcfg fails at boot

Hi folks,

I am having netcfg failing at boot. It works reliably when started manually and it used to work until 10 days ago.

Just after boot:

$ sudo systemctl status netcfg@home
netcfg@home.service - Netcfg networking service for profile home
	  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netcfg@.service; enabled)
	  Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat, 2012-12-01 11:11:54 NZDT; 59s ago
	 Process: 298 ExecStart=/usr/bin/netcfg check-iface %i (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/netcfg@.service/home

This is the my profile (I have commented out KEY and ESSID):

CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION=**********
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa'
ESSID=**********
IP='dhcp'
KEY=**********
TIMEOUT=20

Does anybody have insights?

Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] netcfg fails at boot

It seems that the DHCP client daemon is timing out at the default 10 seconds. You could try increasing its timeout by adding a 'DHCP_TIMEOUT=30' line to your profile configuration and see if it helps.

Great! It's working now. Didn't know about the setting.
