 |
|
Hi,
Im useing gentoo for my car compter project, so it needs to boot fairly quickly. Because the compter will be in the car, it may or may not have internet regularly. When it boots, it sits at "bringing eth0 up" for quite along time before it moves on, if there is no active network connection. Is there a place to set the timout for this? I only want it to wait a few seconds.
Thank You,
colby |

dhcpcd [-t <timeout>] [interface]
so fi it was eth0, edit your /etc/conf.d/net and add the option -t 5 or something to dhcpcd. |

Or take dhcp out of your boot process and run it as needed. It sounds like its that rather than "bringing up eth0" that is hanging around.
I get eth0 on boot and there's not great delay.
