Probably you need one or both of the following in /etc/conf.d/rc: RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0" RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="lo" BUT, what you probably really want is to emerge ifplugd. With this installed, gentoo will detect when there is a cable connected and startup networking automagically when a cable is inserted. It should also avoid timing out on dhcp requests when no link is detected. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
