[gentoo-user] Choosing wired or wireless at boot time

[José Romildo Malaquias]

Hello.

I have two network interfaces on my notebook: one wired (eth0) and one
wireless (wlan0). I am running ~amd64 on it.

I want two gentoo boot entries in grub: one (the default softlevel)
which starts wired networking (and not wireless), and another that
starts the wireless network (and not the wired).

For the later I have created a new softlevel named wireless, with all
services from default, except net.eth0. The default has net.eth0, but
not net.wlan0. Booting with default works as expected, but booting with
wireless starts both interfaces.

In /etc/rc.conf I have the lines:

  rc_depend_strict="NO"
  rc_hotplug="!net*"

Any clues?
