If I remove the cache= d=20 info in /etc/dhcpc/ and reboots, the network initialization fails: Setting network parameters: [ OK ] Bringing up interface lo: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth2: dhcpcd[536]: timed out waiting for a valid DHC= P=20 server response Determining IP information for eth2... failed.
