[initscripts] warning raised by network daemon

Hi,

I'm using initscripts 2011.06.2-1 and when booting/halting or manually doing /etc/rc.d/network start|stop I get this warning:

Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
  Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
  connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.

Since I'm on a laptop and I use wicd to connect, I did not set any network interface in rc.conf. NETWORKS array (used by netcfg) is also commented out

My DAEMONS array:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng acpid dbus network wicd crond sshd iptables ip6tables tuntap cups cpufreq)

Even if the warning is raised, wicd connects fine to the network. I've tried also disabling wicd and rebooting, but the warning is still raised.

Re: [initscripts] warning raised by network daemon

You don't need the network init script when you're using wicd, or any other network management utility. Remove it from your DAEMONS array.

BTW this information is available on the wiki's wicd page.
