I have two network interfaces, eth0 (wireless) and eth1 (wired), excluding loopback. With baselayout-1.12.0_pre17-r2, both interfaces are started during init even though net.eth1 has no runlevel
you forgot to post `emerge info` are you using hot or cold plugging ?
*** Bug 130319 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It seems I must have accidentally posted two reports. Bug #130319 was my original, this one is a cut version of it, so I think it should be reopened and this one removed or marked as a duplicate of that one. Link to the proper bugreport: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130319 Anyhow, I use coldplug. I have hotplug installed too, but currently it doesn't have a runlevel, so it's unused.
generally net scripts startup by themselves when you using hot/cold plugging try disabling both and reboot and see what happens
Disabling both hot- and coldplug didn't solve the problem. However, when I booted up that computer, I noticed a message during init that I can't recollect I've seen before with the stable baselayout, which definitely seems to have something to do with it: Device initiated services: net.eth0 net.eth1 What's that about? Seems like something one necessarily doesn't want to happen and I have certainly not activated any such feature.
looks like a hotplug feature to me ...
I searched around for that Device initiated services thingie and found the following bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129331 Adding RC_COLDPLUG="no" to /etc/conf.d/rc fixed it. Thanks for your concern! Cased closed! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 129331 ***
