Hi !
Why can't my Airport card (eth0) not be configured by DHCP automagically at startup ?
I edited /etc/conf.d/net as said in the docs : iface_eth0="dhcp", then rc-update, but, at start-up, "Bringing eth0 up" take very long time, then I receive

"Time out waiting for a valid DHCP server response - Failed to bring eth0 up -
ERROR : Problem starting needed services. "netmount" was not started"

This is strange, because I'm able to launch dhcpcd eth0 manually after the boot...

Thank you for your help,

Orphee

Solved.
After verifying with dmesg, I noticed that the Airport card was bound to eth1, not eth0. (My mistake came from the installation process, where, after modprobe airport, airport was eth0).
Just had to do this :
# rc-update del net.eth0 default
# cp /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.eth1
Edit the /etc/conf.d/net script, then
# rc-update add net.eth1 default

Now, the Airport card starts up well at the boot.
