Hello. Don't know whether it's relevant, but the patch seems to stop dhcpcd from being launched automatically on paravirtualized virtio interfaces, at least on VirtualBox. Corresponding findings: installer media were booted as VirtualBox guest with any of the combinations version 12/2013 or 01/2014, i686 or x86_64, guest's network interface as virtualized hardware ("Intel PRO/1000 T Server") or paravirtualized ("virtio-net") and network mode either NAT or bridged. ISO 12/2013 always launched dhcpcd automatically on the virtual NIC. ISO 01/2014 launched dhcpcd automatically always if the interface was set to virtual hardware but never when it was set to virtio-net. Manually launching dhcpcd[@eth0].service on the virtio interface worked as expected and configured the interface as eth0. BTW so far dhcpcd was also started automatically whenever I booted the January ISO on hardware directly. Regards, Peter Mattern
