[Solved] Boot error: /etc/rc.d/functions /etc/netcfg doesn't exist

Question

Hi everybody,
Well, after a bit of playing around, wiki reading and trouble-shooting, i now have an automatic wireless connection at boot via netcfg2 and my wireless profile. Great stuff.
By the way, whoever wrote this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Net … _netcfg_v2, you deserev a medal.
Anyway, to the problem. I get an error message at boot which informs me that there is an error in my /etc/rc.d/functions file at line 155, stating that /etc/rc.d/netcfg doesn't exist (which is correct).
However, when I look at the functions file, I cannot for the life of me see the problem.
Line 155 is: /etc/rc.d/$1 start
154 start_daemon() {
155 /etc/rc.d/$1 start
These are my daemons:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng cups hal avahi-daemon sshd snmpd xinetd portmap netcfg net-profiles)
The obvious thing would be a problem with the netcfg daemon, but everything works ok, so go figure.
The only real reference i found was this:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 03699.html
I'm fine with an optional dep - how about we throw a comment above
'NETWORKS' and have rc.sysinit throw a warning it NETWORKS is defined
but /etc/rc.d/netcfg isn't found?
Any help appreciated.

Damn! I had a feeling it was going to be an easy one. I am pretty sure I tried that, oh well.
Thanks for the quick replies men. Thread marked as [Solved]
