I just spent a few hours trying to fix a problem where my Gentoo router would only dhcp the ip address of the cable modem instead of the proper IP address from the WAN. I ended up enabling USE=vram and it worked again.
# equery uses dhcpcd + + vram : Disable DUID due to volatile media, such as a LiveCD I had just previously booted to a Damn Small Linux LiveCD when the trouble started so I'm thinking the CD tried to dhcp from my cable internet provider without a DUID which caused the provider to change something which means that I need to disable the DUID from now on? It's confusing but that's the best I can come up with. The point is: be careful when using dhcp from a LiveCD. Your system might act differently the next time you boot the hard drive. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
