Yes, it does. 1. Check your setting and the comments for RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING in /etc/conf.d/rc. This should probably be set to 'lo' for your system. 2. Hotplug can also activate network interfaces. See /etc/hotplug/net.agent. I'm not sure how this affects cardbus adapters however... 3. For eth0, merge the ifplugd package and the interface will not be activated until a cable is plugged in. However you might need a 1.12 baselayout for this functionality... -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
