Hi, Just trying to get my head around how the latest openrc affects me (wrt to networking mainly). I'm building a router which has to connect to the internet via either a 3G datacard, a wifi connection or an ethernet connection. I will need to use a bit of logic to figure out what's available and bring the appropriate link up. Also we will have a backup ppp dialup connection which is used when nothing else is available

I think I can see how dhcpcd-5 and openresolv are extremely helpful in pulling this all together, but I'm not sure whether openrc-0.40 or 0.50 is currently my best bet? What are the limitations right now with dynamically bringing up wpa-supplicant and ppp connections with 0.50?
Thanks

Ed W
