 |
|
Hey all..
How i can setup the rc-update to run the net.eth0 on the background (without stop)?
On Arch linux its just add @ to name service.. So is it possible on Gentoo atm?
Thanks.

Not really. But you can have the initscripts run in parallel.
vi /etc/rc.conf and set rc_parallel="YES" (it's near the top of the file)
Prepare a bootable CD to re-set rc_parallel to "NO" if it somehow messes up your system. (Never had a problem with mine -- touch wood!)

emerge netplug or ifplug.
Edit: That's system-wide. I'm not aware of something for only net.eth0. |

If you just use dhcp, you can also remove "net.eth0" and add the "dhcpcd" service.

One other benefit of netplug or ifplugd is that they handle carrier detect, and don't even try a wired connection if it isn't plugged in. I'm under the impression that newer dhcpcd clients handle carrier detect as well, though I haven't verified it.
How does adding dhcpcd to rc-update handle unplugged wired interfaces?
If I've added dhcpcd to rc-update, how do I tell it what interfaces to control?
How does dhcpcd handle the rf-kill switch, for the wireless side?

They do indeed!

As soon as you unplug, it switches to wireless, and once you plug back in, it switches to wired.

It controls all the physical interfaces.

Unfortunately, it's wpa_supplicant that does not handle it well and needs to be (re)started. That can be fixed with a simple udev rule.
