    Subject: [gentoo-user] net.eth0 and net.eth1 choice + net.eth1 timeout
    
    Hi list,
       i would like to share a problem that i'm encountering in dealing
    with two net interfaces. I've a "normal" ethernet device (eth0) and a
    wireless ipw2200 one (eth1).
    
    1) i would like to have, at boot, a situation in which first of all
    eth0 is started; if dhcp signal is found proceed with the
    initialization of eth0, while if dhcp is not found try to start eth1.
    
    2) as of now, at boot time i've only eth0; obviously if it's not
    connected via ethernet cable the dhcp goes in timeout and net
    initialization is failed. Then at the prompt i reissue
    /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start to start wireless connection. However, and
    here's the problem, the first time i digit this, eth1 goes in timeout
    too. Digiting another time the same command and everythig goes well.
    This situation is encountered everytime.
    
    Thanks in advance for any hint,
    MC
