1 What is the "right" way to handle this situation. I have two nic cards
2 in my laptop. The built-in one and a wireless PCMCIA card. In my
3 /etc/init.d directory I have:
4
5 net.eth0 (10/100BaseT)
6 net.lo (loopback)
7 net.wlan0 (wireless)
8
9 On any given boot eth0 or wlan0 will fail since only one of them is
10 plugged in. However /etc/init.d/netmount has a depend of "need net" and
11 I would think that either of these being up would suffice, yet it seems
12 it wants both of them up. IS there a proper way to configure this so
13 that either on being up meets the needs of "need net"?

16 Thanks,
17 Sean
