[gentoo-user] net.eth0 and net.eth1 choice + net.eth1 timeout

[gentoo-user] net.eth0 and net.eth1 choice + net.eth1 timeout

[Marco Calviani]

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

Have you looked into sys-apps/ifplugd ?

Note that the latest baselayout supports ifplugd itself. You only need to
emerge ifplugd, you don't need to configure it or add it to a runlevel.

If at first you don't suceed, try the switch marked "Power"
