This is nothing to do with the init scripts. There are two ways an |
| 12 |
interface can be started, through the init scripts or through hotplug. |
| 13 |
The RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING deals with how others services, that require a |
| 14 |
network connection, work. |

This isn't a workaround, it is the correct solution. If you don't want |
| 20 |
your network interfaces, or anything else, started by hotplug, this |
| 21 |
is the correct place to disable it. |

A package offering more flexible configuration options doesn't make it |
| 24 |
suck, IMO. you complain about Ubuntu and SUSE doing things automatically, |
| 25 |
then complain about Gentoo increasing your choices. |
