Stopping wireless connection stops lots of services [SOLVED]

Hi!

I have a wireless card that i use only for my home network and which and to start and stop at will.

The problem is that when i do /etc/init.d/net.ra0 stop, a bunch of services stop as well, namely sshd, ntpd, noip. It seems that as they all depend on net, they all stop. They all need a working internet connection, but mine (an adsl connection) doesn't even get started with a net.xxx script.

Any suggestion how to avoid the dependency of those services to the wireless connection?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Thanks for the suggestion because it helped me solve the problem.

I have an USB alcatel speedtouch modem for the adsl connection and followed an old how-to. Meanwhile, changes occurred in the baselayout.

So, all i had to do was to create a symlink net.ppp0 to net.lo in /etc/init.d/ and set the ppp connection options in /etc/conf.d/net. I also added net.ppp0 to the default runlevel. I also had to remove the obsolete files /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0, /etc/ppp/peers/adsl, /etc/options-pppoe.

Now, stopping the wireless connection doesn't stop the "net related" services.

Thank you.
