When my Slackware 12.0 boots, shortly after the login, I get this message...
Code:
Polling for DHCP server on interface eth0:
No carrier detected on eth0. Reducing DHCP timeout to 10 seconds.
dhcpcd: MAC address = 00:00:f8:05:e8:7c
As you can see, this slows my boot down by at least ten seconds. I would like to remove this. I'm surprised that it even does this because the cable for the adapter is out. Can't it detect this? I'm sure I never had this issue when I was running Slackware 11.0.
Anyway, I realize that I can simply edit
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf and remove the eth0 interface from it, but this would be a pain when I quickly need to use it.
Thanks to any replies.
