 |
|
hi,
my network interface is configured at boot with dhcp. sometimes i am not connected to a network, so the boot process hangs for a minute because dhcp is not getting anything...
i wonder how i can cancel or background the dhcp thing. i tried Ctrl-c Ctrl-x .. does not work.

In /etc/conf.d/net you can set dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10" meaining it will only try for ten seconds to get an ip address (man dhcpcd).

try ifplugd or similar - it will start net.ethX (you specify the interfaces in a config file) when it detects a link... |

I'm not sure if your problem is solved, or if this thread is dead. I ran into the same issue, and found this:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.1/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=6
The solution from this link, combined with the solution from massimo (dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10") (thanks, massimo) works for me.
