I'm not sure why but my net.wlan0 interface always starts on boot even though I tell it not to with rc-update. In fact, I have it entirely removed from all runlevels and it still starts on boot.

(In reply to comment #0) > I'm not sure why but my net.wlan0 interface always starts on boot even though I > That's probably because you have 'RC_COLDPLUG="yes"' in your /etc/conf.d/rc which makes it a device initiated service. Set it to "no" or use something like 'RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.wlan0"' to just disable net.wlan0 being initiated automatically.
Assuming Bandan knows about what he wrote, I'm closing the bug. In case I'm wrong or you can point out that (possible) available documentation on gentoo.org is not extensive enough or even incorrect, don't hesitate to reopen.

I didn't realize that the coldplug setting would auto start the service. Thanks for the help. :-)
