[rc-update]Want Multiple network interfaces at boot

[ade05fr]

Hi everyone

here is my question, since my installation i tried now to start my gentoo with both net.wlan0 and net.eth0 started during boot sequence.
here is what i have in rc-update :

have a look at /etc/rc.conf, in particular at rc_depend_strict. IIRC setting it to no, resolves you problem.

In a nutshell, gentoo assumes, that all network interface are required for the system to be fully operational.


as an alternative (especially for a notebook, which gets moved a lot around/connects to various networks) I recommend either networkmanager or wicd. bot required to work properly (lets say more easily) a reasonable gui.
personally I prefer networkmanager (for kde).
