1 Hello,
2
3 At the moment I am running and receiving my network connection from
4 init.d/wicd. init.d/net.eno1 is not running and I do not want it to
5 run.
6
7 Now I want to connect to a VPN: /etc/init.d/openvpn start
8
9 Apparently as a dependency to init.d/openvpn, something launches
10 init.d/net.eno1.
11
12 Q: Why is init.d/net.eno1 starting when I try to start openvpn?
13
14 Q: Why isn't net.eno1 satisfied with the network connection provided
15 by init.d/wicd?
16
17 Q: How can I prevent net.eno1 from being started by openvpn when wicd
18 is running?
19
20 PS: net.eno1 is rc-configed to start as default and wicd is
21 rc-configed to not start at all. However, I find myself in a
22 situation where I need to switch my internet access from net.eno1 to
23 wicd.

25 Thank you,
