[gentoo-user] stop eth0 from starting at boot

[gentoo-user] stop eth0 from starting at boot

/etc/init.d/net.eth0 is not in any runlevels:

o_0 tony # rc-update show
            bootmisc | boot
             checkfs | boot
           checkroot | boot
               clock | boot
         consolefont | boot
                hald |      default
            hostname | boot
             keymaps | boot
               local |      default nonetwork
          localmount | boot
             modules | boot
              net.lo | boot
           net.wlan0 |      default
            netmount |      default
          ntp-client |      default
           rmnologin | boot
                sshd |      default
      udev-postmount |      default
             urandom | boot
          vixie-cron |      default
                 xdm |      default

Yet it still insists on trying to start at boot! This isn't What I Want,
since this computer is a laptop and I generally use the wifi.

Could it be related to udev or hotplug?

Thanks,
-Tony

The easiest way to rectify this, I've found, is to just delete
/etc/init.d/net.eth0. Alternately, if you do want to keep the init
script around, but don't want to wait for it to time out before
continuing the boot process, what I did was add dhcpcd_eth0="-b" to fork
it into the background. As for "what is trying to start net.eth0," I
think there's an option in either /etc/rc.conf or /etc/conf.d/rc that
determines what counts as "net" for init scripts that need net: no net
required, loopback only, one non-loopback, or all of the net.* scripts.
Try looking into that.

This is a common problem.  I am on baselayout 1 so if you are on 
baselayout 2, this may not help.  In /etc/conf.d/rc file, add this line 
or edit the line you already have:

RC_PLUG_SERVICES="net.wlan !net.eth*"

That should stop it from starting unless it is in a runlevel.  If not, 
post back.  Actually, post back either way.  Let us know if that works 
or not.

The file is well commented to show all options.  Just put "lo" in there and it 
won't bother you again for any interface (other than localhost).

In baselayout-2 this is set in /etc/rc.conf. I use

rc_hotplug="!net.*"

to let all interfaces be handled by Wicd.

All generalizations are false, including this one.

I modified the RC_PLUG_SERVICES like this:

RC_PLUG_SERVICES="net.ra0 !net.eth0"

This appears to have worked perfectly! net.eth0 does not start at boot at
all. Thanks so much!
