Probably you need one or both of the following in /etc/conf.d/rc: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0" |
| 8 |
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="lo" |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
BUT, what you probably really want is to emerge ifplugd. With this |
| 11 |
installed, gentoo will detect when there is a cable connected and |
| 12 |
startup networking automagically when a cable is inserted. It should |
| 13 |
also avoid timing out on dhcp requests when no link is detected. |
