Hi list, i would like to share a problem that i'm encountering in dealing with two net interfaces. I've a "normal" ethernet device (eth0) and a wireless ipw2200 one (eth1).
1) i would like to have, at boot, a situation in which first of all eth0 is started; if dhcp signal is found proceed with the initialization of eth0, while if dhcp is not found try to start eth1. 2) as of now, at boot time i've only eth0; obviously if it's not connected via ethernet cable the dhcp goes in timeout and net initialization is failed. Then at the prompt i reissue /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start to start wireless connection. However, and here's the problem, the first time i digit this, eth1 goes in timeout too. Digiting another time the same command and everythig goes well. This situation is encountered everytime. Thanks in advance for any hint, MC -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
