35 This is a common problem. I am on baselayout 1 so if you are on
36 baselayout 2, this may not help. In /etc/conf.d/rc file, add this line
37 or edit the line you already have:
38
39 RC_PLUG_SERVICES="net.wlan !net.eth*"
40
41 That should stop it from starting unless it is in a runlevel. If not,
42 post back. Actually, post back either way. Let us know if that works
43 or not.
