 |
|
hi,
on my laptop, i'm not connected to eth0 half the time, but during bootup my system takes a long time to decide if eth0 is up or not (several minutes in fact). is there anyway to shorten the timeout period?
thanks,
aravind. |

Control starting/stopping of wired interfaces with ifplugd - that means you can remove net.eth0 from the default runlevel  |

to remove from default runlevel :
| Code: | | rc-update del net.eth0 default |
to seperatly start it :
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |

Why do that when ifplugd can start it when the cable is inserted and stop it when the cable is removed?
Saves me typing, that's for sure  |

thanks for the response. i should have specified that i didn't want to remove it from default and add it, which is a nuisance.
ifplugd sounds like a good way to do it, but how do i configure it?
thanks,
aravind. |

emerge ifplugd
Then have a look in /etc/conf.d/ifplugd
It's not too hard |
