net.eth2 "shouldn't" return (by default) until it has a dhcp address, |
| 31 |
which means all other scripts starting after it will wait until you have |
| 32 |
an address. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Things you might have done to change the default behaviour include |
| 35 |
RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP, and RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING in /etc/conf.d/rc. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
You can set them to "no", and "yes" respectively and see if the |
| 38 |
following scripts wait... |
