Re: [gentoo-server] Re: What provides net (e.g., /etc/init.d/net.eth0)?

[Fred Gates]

you must modify your net.ath0 script to include "provide net.eth0" and
then when sshd and ntpd start that will see that the net.ath0 script
provides net.eth0. kinda complicated but read the init script docs a few
times over and you should be good.
