I have set-up a Wireless network, so i dont need net.eth0 anymore.
the problem is whenever i bootup gentoo, it always wants to bring net.eth0 up.

i got 2 files in /etc/init.d/
net.eth0 and net.wlan0
so, i did,
Code:
rc-update del net.eth0 default
rc-update add net.wlan0 default


Code:
rc-update -s

               acpid |      default                 
           alsasound | boot                         
            bootmisc | boot                         
             checkfs | boot                         
           checkroot | boot                         
               clock | boot                         
         consolefont | boot                         
            hostname | boot                         
             keymaps | boot                         
               local |      default nonetwork       
          localmount | boot                         
             modules | boot                         
              net.lo | boot                         
           net.wlan0 |      default                 
            netmount |      default                 
           rmnologin | boot                         
                sshd |      default                 
           syslog-ng |      default                 
             urandom | boot

but it doesnt work. i dont wanna the system bring net.eth0 up

On some systems, net.eth0 is autostarted by udev. You can do one of a few things:
  • If you don't want eth0 up, period, delete the symlink /etc/init.d/net.eth0 .
  • If you don't want it trying to start up and delaying the boot, check out netplug (sys-apps/netplug), which will background eth0 if no cable is present.


Edit:
I forgot. You could also use a userspace utility like NetworkManager, and just not use Gentoo's networking scripts. That is what I do. You will have to edit your /etc/conf.d/rc though:
Code:
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="none"

Otherwise NetworkManager can't start.
