Of course I can patch my rc.d/network1 manually or/and add number of "smart" scripts, but I simply wants to share solution with other people. > Your suggestion, while it solves your problem, would create a problem > for others (re-read the quote). Why it will create problems for others ? You need explicitly ask for feature: ifconfig_fxp0="dhcp-if-carrier" if you will use old-style: ifconfig_fxp0="dhcp" nothing will changed in dhcp behavior My personal opinion - best choice add key to dhclient - which do not ever try to send requests or record leases in case of no carrier on media and do not stop boot process in this case. Some times ago I have patch dhclient for this, but I am not satisfied with the patch, so do not send it to anybody. > Cheers, > Mike Makonnen > -- Vladimir B.
