That's a solution. Unfortunately, not always the good one.


Richard : you should have a look at RC_PLUG_SERVICES in /etc/conf.d/rc


Another solution if you are dhcp-ing is (from /etc/conf.d/net.example) :

# For passing custom options to dhcpcd use something like the following.  This
# example reduces the timeout for retrieving an address from 60 seconds (the
# default) to 10 seconds.
#dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"

But !!! Yes, there is a "but"... Be carefull. On some networks, it might takes 
a bit more than 10sec
to receive an dhcp answer.
