try grepping for need in /etc/runlevels/boot/* and /etc/runlevels/offline/* to see if any of your boot or offline services has a dependency on networking..

If there is something that requires net, see if setting RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="lo" in /etc/conf.d/rc will do the trick. If that doesn;t work, then you may need to remove the service from that softlevel.

Also check for PROGRAM keys in your /etc/udev/rules.d/* to make sure it's not udev trying to start the device. However, I don't believe there's anything like that in the default rule sets.

And, I'll second Richard, "emerge ifplugd"

Well, the only script in boot that looks promising is net.lo : I had
considered removing it from boot but decided to ask before (possibly) making a
big problem from a small one.

Thanks,
