14 Thanks to you and Matt for your replies. It sucks that it's hardcoded.
15 I set net.ath0 to default and took net.eth0 out, but when ntpd or sshd
16 are started they try to start their dependencies as well.

18 Hence, init tries to start eth0 at the default runlevel whether I want
19 it to or not :-(
