Hello,

I've just added another nic card and statically assigned the address
and used "rc-update add net.eth1 default" and added the eth1
interface/address info in /etc/conf.d/net. This works fine right now
with a static address.

2 questions:

1) Eth1 will be connected to a cable modem and will need to be using
dhcp to get its interface/gateway info. So do I just simply edit the
/etc/conf.d/net settings when the time comes to change from static to
dhcp and the eth1 interface will automatically revert to using dhcp
settings or do I need to do something otherwise?

2) Having added eth1 to the "default run-level" via "rc-update", will
switching the interface to dhcp (versus it being statically addressed
now) have an effect or not? If so, what (if simple) do I need to do?

Thanks,
Joshua Banks
