Dump all the /etc/conf.d/net configuration stuff (including removing the /etc/init.d/net.eth0 and net.wlan0 files) and just use wicd. It will know when your machine is wired or not and will boot your system without waiting for eth0. -- Valmor
Re: [gentoo-user] how to forbid dhcp for eth0
If your eth0 is a wired interface, you could use ifplugd[1] (on portage's sys-apps) as mentioned on chapter 6 of the gentoo linux x86 handbook [2]. Basically, it keep the interface down while the cable is unplugged, so you won't wait dhcp at startup. Additionally, it will bring it up when you plug the cable (and you could execute other actions like, for example, stop the wireless when you plug the cable). Very easy to use. You can found some examples on /etc/conf.d/net.example Another useful references could be [3] and [4].
