net.eth0 server auto-starting!!! [solved]

[Naib]

I have a wired NIC and a wireless NIC,
the wired NIC can be started via /etc/init.d/net.eth0
the wireless by /etc/init.d/net.ra0

I removed net.eth0 from all run-levels so it does not try to detect a DHCP server (it wont since not plugged it), i still need it say once every 4months if wifi goes wrong

net.ra0 is in the defaut runlevel and starts fine.

For some reason a recent change to baselayout and init-scripts means that all network devices try to start!!!

at startup there is a line that goes

"found net.eth0 net.ra0"

later it then tries to start eth0 even though it is not in by runlevel! this causes the machine to sit for 5min as it fails to find a server, this also cause GNOEM to not login via GDM.

net.ra0 starts fine.
IF i delete the link net.eth0 it re-appears next boot, the only way to get a good boot is to press "i" during init and when it asks whether I want to start net.eth0 I say NO

how can I stop eth0 from trying to start?

remember doing an etc-update back there somewhere? You probably missed a line somewhere or other and eth0 was likely added as a dependancy to something, that's my guess.

check it out.
