Philip, |

Docs on /etc/conf.d/net are about as clear as mud from where I sit. The |
| 14 |
last thing I need to figure out is what exactly is the difference |
| 15 |
between config_eth0 and iface_eth0 entries? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
config_eth0 simply does not work for me at all - if the net cable is not |
| 18 |
plugged in, dhcp takes 60 seconds to time out. |
| 19 |
But iface_eth0 realizes in less than a second that there is no network |
| 20 |
cable and does the smart thing. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I once found a note in some other obscure doc that iface_eth0 seems to |
| 23 |
be the syntax for ifconfig, while config_eth0 seems to be for iproute2. |
| 24 |
Can anyone confirm or deny this? |
