 |
|
I'm running Gentoo on a laptop, so when I'm traveling around, most of the time I don't need Gentoo starting the network automatically, so I never added it to rc-update, and its not inside of rc-update when I run:
However, during boot, all of my network devices is automatically starting up and trying to do their own thing, slowing down my boot. I would like to know, what is causing my network devices to automatically start without rc-update, and how do I stop it. Thanks |

Take a look at /etc/conf.d/rc
RC_HOTPLUG, RC_COLDPLUG and RC_PLUG_SERVICES are what you want to set. |

| Code: | | RC_PLUG_SERVICES="" |
thats what my line says, are you saying I should input:
to keep from any network interfaces from starting, or would this include net.lo? |

RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*"

You probably also have PCMCA.

I think net.lo should be included in runlevel boot by default, so "!net.*" should be fine as long as you have added all the other interfaces you want using rc-update. |

| You could also look at ifplugd or netplug if you want the services to startup, but not actually activate until you plug the network cable in. |
