The work-around for instances where one's service is dependent upon net
returning true and you only have a wifi connection and eth0 is not connected
is to modify the /etc/conf.d/rc file, such as I did:


# RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING allows some flexibility with the 'net' service.
# The following values are allowed:
#  none  - The 'net' service is always considered up.
#  no    - This basically means that at least one net.* service besides
net.lo
#          must be up.  This can be used by notebook users that have a wifi
and
#          a static nic, and only wants one up at any given time to have the
#          'net' service seen as up.
#  lo    - This is the same as the 'no' option, but net.lo is also counted.
#          This should be useful to people that do not care about any
specific
#          interface being up at boot.
#  yes   - For this ALL network interfaces MUST be up for the 'net' service
to
#          be considered up.

#RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no"
#
# 11/8/2010 jlpoole below replaces above so mongodb starts on wifi
#
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="none"
