This is poorly designed. There should be a way to bring up the network interface early in the boot sequence (alternatively the driver could do something equivalent, so that the Ethernet link is detected when one tests its status). > It is your responsibility to set an appropriate time limit for > guessnet. This doesn't solve the problem: it makes the boot longer. By bringing up the interface earlier, the time needed by guessnet could be spent while other things are done in parallel. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
