I would like to setup my network for routing.
I have two ethernet cards: eth0 and eth1 and I would like to connect to
the ISP (via dsl) with eth1 and to my laptop with eth0.

I works quite OK, but I have the problem that eth1 waits quite long
(and in vain) for the dhcp while booting before connecting to the
ISP via ppp.

Perhaps my configuration is suboptimal my /etc/conf.d/net contains the following
lines:

Code:

iface_eth0="192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
iface_eth1="dhcp"


Should I simply delete the iface_eth1 line?

With "in vain", you mean that it doesn't receive no IP information? If that's what you mean (so that the IP information gets received later on by a different (init)script, then you can add "-t 5" to /etc/conf.d/net.eth1's dhcpcd_opts. This will ask dhcpcd to only wait 5 seconds and then go on if it doesn't receive any information
