Hello,
I just installed gentoo on my new thinkpad x31 with no particular problem. It's my
first gentoo installation and I'm quite enthusiastic about it, even if compiling
openoffice almost discouraged me ;-)
However, I've got a problem with network configuration: I would like my laptop to
start with no network, and be able to start manually:
- a static ethernet connection at work
- a dhcp ethernet connection at home
- possibly a dial-up modem connection sometimes.
I tried to disable net.eth0 in the default level, but it tries to start anyway (I
could not find what service depends upon it and starts it). If the machine is not
connected to the network, my box hangs for a while after boot just before displaying
the login prompt.
Also, if I'm not connected to the network, gentoo fails to set up the domain name
(/etc/init.d/domainname says it sets the dns and nis domains right, but the login
prompts myname.nknown_domain, and dnsdomain returns none). This is a big problem
because I'm using a program that refuses to start if the domain name is not set.
So how can I:
- start without network
- start different kinds of network configs manually if necessary
- have a senseful hostname/domainname setting at any time during the process?
Thank you for your help,
Matthieu
