This is ifplugd or netplug waiting until link is established before=20 configuring the device. They are also responsible for bring the device up= =20 and down is response to link failure and reestablishment. Normally, this=20 is a desired behavior because it, for example, only brings up your=20 laptop's wired connection if it is actually plugged in and automatically=20 brings it down when you unplug. If you want to disable one or the other for a particular device, you can=20 add !netplug or !ifplugd to the modules list of that interface=20 (see /etc/conf.d/net.example for details). You can also disable link=20 detection entirely by adding !plug to the modules list of that interface. An alternative that may be closer to what you want, is to let=20 ifplugd/netplug wait for some period of time before backgrounding. This=20 still allows the interface to be started and stopped in response to link=20 status, but when explicitly started, it will perform configuration in the=20 foreground if link is detecting before timeout. To establish such a=20 timeout add:plug_timeout=3D"" to your network configuration =2D-=20 "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." =2D- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh --nextPart14340566.W0jntH3YXD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFJA9eq72nDbhDXToRAiGvAJ4r+fd9clKzdTDIO54mmyAvDaRYlQCcCDVn cRQg45Lh/YwsDHH2lO2dMvo= =XpYI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart14340566.W0jntH3YXD-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
