5 In my opinion, yes. This can be accomplished much less intrusively if
6 we were to just set iface_ethX=dhcp in /etc/conf.d/net. That way, only
7 devices which are actually found via hotplug will have DHCP run on
8 them. I already do this on my GameCD's (as did you, on yours) and it
9 seems to work fine, even on my multi-NIC machines.
