Subject: [gentoo-user] net.eth0 and net.eth1 choice + net.eth1 timeout
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
