|
hi
i have a question about a problem that i'm unable to solve
is there a way to have a mor dynamic netowrk configuration at boot time.
i want it the following way:
if theres no network cable plugged in, use a preconfigured setting
if theres a network cable, try dhcp if it works then ok, if it times out use a preconfigured setting
is there a service that does this at boot time ? or maybe something obvious i'm missing ?
thanks in advance |

would it only trying to find an ip for 10 seconds work? I'm assuming that you're tired of waiting 1 minute for your computer to find an ip before it finishes booting...
in /etc/conf.d/net | Code: | iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10" |
That will tell it to wait 10 seconds. you can obviously adjust it to suit your needs, play with it. Check /etc/conf.d/net.example, it has a lot of cool stuff in it.
