ethernet question

[the_lunatic]

Hi

I probably missing something real simple in the help docs, but any help you could give would be apreciated

It is a gereral question about ethernet configuration in linux

Everytime my redhat 9 machine boots It tries to auto initalize my ethernet conection even when it is not present due inavalibility.

the result is about a 3 second delay followed by the "Got Cable?" message.

How due a prevent this autodection when it is not nesesary?

[Morphine Drip]

bring up a terminal (shell, command prompt, cli, etc...) and type in 'serviceconf &'

when the comes up uncheck 'network' from the list and reboot.

that will prevent your ethernet devices from 'initializing' at boot.
