how to remove eth0 during boot

Hi All

I noticed that when I boot, my GenToo box tries to start (with dhcp) eth0. But I'm not using eth0, but eth1 (wireless)
I thought that rc-update was my friend, but something like rc-update del net.eth0 default doesn't work because its not in there.

Any suggestions how I can stop/remove this because it takes a lot of boot time ?

Thnx a lot
Luca

You probably have an interactive boot mode set - just press I and do not allow the deamon to start. Oh, and maybe edit your /etc/conf.d/net.

You're right, I'm using an old configuration file. So I changed it and uncommented the following line:

Or stop coldplug from starting it. Checkout /etc/conf.d/rc
