Subject: [gentoo-laptop] Abort network startup when cable not connected

1 Hi,
2
3 This is probably an easy one.
4 My laptop has two network connections: hardwired (default) and
5 wireless(starts manually). Both are working fine. However, when I
6 boot up my laptop without the NIC cable connected it takes a very long
7 time to boot. This is because the net.eth0 script keeps trying to
8 start networking. I have an older laptop with SuSe 9.2 and it does
9 not have this problem.
10
11 How can I configure the startup script so that networking will not be
12 started if the cable is not connected?
