I have an nslu2 with a 3g modem attached which auto dials on boot however if I
boot with the ethernet cable detatched it doesn't dial nor does the slug boot
properly (the status light blick orange/green). If I then plug in the lan cable
the status light goes to solid green and I can login via ssh. I assume the os
is halting on the lan configuration bit, any ideas on how I get round this?
