9 Hi list,
10 i would like to share a problem that i'm encountering in dealing
11 with two net interfaces. I've a "normal" ethernet device (eth0) and a
12 wireless ipw2200 one (eth1).
13
14 1) i would like to have, at boot, a situation in which first of all
15 eth0 is started; if dhcp signal is found proceed with the
16 initialization of eth0, while if dhcp is not found try to start eth1.
17
18 2) as of now, at boot time i've only eth0; obviously if it's not
19 connected via ethernet cable the dhcp goes in timeout and net
20 initialization is failed. Then at the prompt i reissue
21 /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start to start wireless connection. However, and
22 here's the problem, the first time i digit this, eth1 goes in timeout
23 too. Digiting another time the same command and everythig goes well.
24 This situation is encountered everytime.

26 Thanks in advance for any hint,
27 MC
