I finally found what was starting my network interface: hotplug. If I remove hotplug from the default bootlevel, net.eth0 isn't started. So this is not due to service dependencies in the sense of the gentoo init system.
Thank you all for your help. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure why I would need hotplug. I'll try without and see what happens. Matthieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
