net.eth0 isn't actually failing when ifplugd detects no cable. It is
shown as inactive rather than stopped. You could try starting the
interface from /etc/conf.d/local only if eth0 is not active with
etc/init.d/net.eth0 status --quiet | echo /etc/init.d/eth1 start
You should also edit /etc/conf.d/net to shut down eth1 when eth0 detects
a cable. I have this as the preup function
preup() {
[ ${IFACE} == "eth0" ] && /etc/init.d/net.eth1 --quiet status &&
/etc/init.d/net.eth1 pause
return 0
}
