 |
|
Hallo,
I have the following problem: I mostly connect to a wireless LAN with my laptop, but at home I use a wired connection.
When I start up the laptop and eth0 (my wired ethernet adapter) starts up it says | Code: | | eth0: waiting for carrier |
and takes nearly a minute to time out although there is no cable plugged in. So it seems that the driver does not notice the absence of a cable. Currently I use to press Ctrl-C to cancel the waiting process, but that´s quite annoying.
lspci tells the following about my ethernet card:
| Code: | | 0b:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03) |
Since the "waiting for carrier" step only takes a blink of an eye when a cable is plugged in, it would be handy to decrease the time out value, but I was unable to find that setting.
I would be very happy if someone could help me.
Kind regards
Max |

That's why you need ifplugd.
With OpenRc inside the testing arch, you don't need that  |
