This is imogen.csnet (Linux i686 2.6.14-rc4-mm1) 14:12:51 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot the machine with services relying on networking being active. 
2. 
3. 
 


Expected Results:  
Bootup scripts should wait until network is fully initialised before attempting 
to start services which are dependent on the network working. 

Running on an R40 ThinkPad.

post your /etc/conf.d/net file
Comment 2 Christopher Sawtell 2005-11-16 23:03:13 UTC 
The command grep -v '^#' /etc/conf.d/net | grep -v ^$ - 
produces the non-comment, non-blank lines thus:- 
 
modules=( "ifconfig" )   
config_eth0=( "192.168.2.12/26 brd 192.168.2.63" )   
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.2.62" )   
   
These are the only non-comment lines in my /etc/conf.d/net file.  
  
Yes it is a quarter of a C net because the rest is being set up as a VPN.
