[gentoo-user] Stop net.eth0 from starting?

[Dan Cowsill]

I've got wifi configured with madwifi and use my wifi interface a lot
more than the ethernet I had thought that removing net.eth0 from
rc-update, but that didn't seem to work.  Every time I booted, the
interface tried to go up and get dhcp information.  I then read about
and used a preup function to check that interfaces are actually
connected before they are brought up, and this essentially solves the
problem.  It occurs to me that it would just be a whole lot easier and
cleaner if net.eth0 just didn't try to start at all, but I haven't
found any way to do this short of removing the init.d script from
rc-update.

My question is, is there any way to stop net.eth0 from starting
besides ethtool's preup function?

Thanks.
