Description David 2004-09-26 08:34:11 UTC
lirc, a package for IR remote controls, has 'need net' in the init script /etc/init.d/lircd.  I see no reason for this as lircd does not use the network.  In my particular case, when eth0 is not connected it means I cannot use my remote control.

My proposal is to remove the 'need net' from the init script, as it works perfectly fine without.

Attached is a patch to make this change.

Reproducible: Always
