Im having problems with the wired NIC on a gentoo box.
Ive configured its wireless card, and I want to use SSH to access it to sort things out

when I try and start SSH it in turn tries to start eth0 ( which isnt working) so it fails.

Where do i tell SSH to use wlan0 ?

In /etc/conf.d/rc, find the line that says
Code:
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="yes"

and change it to
Code:
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no"

and see if that helps.

in /etc/ssh/sshd_config you can specify on what address ssh should list on:

Code:
ListenAddress 192.168.1.1


if that's the address of your wireless NIC.

thanks - changing the listen address didnt help - it still tried to start eth0.

changing rc.conf to 'none' did it.
