how to set the watiing time of bringing up network device when system is booting?


I am using FC4.
I have a network card but I don't want to connect it to any network when booting the system.
However, i have to wait about 1 min for "failed" to bring all connection up, then proceed.

Hi umpingguy
I don't use Fedora Core 4 but SUSE Linux, so I can only tell you what works in SUSE:
in the file '/etc/sysconfig/network/config' there is a variable named WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES which contains the waiting time for all mandatory interfaces to come up and 'If empty no wait occurs.'
Try to adapt this to your distribution.
Bye.

So instead of setting a timeout, why not just disable automatic network startup?

As root user ( su - ) edit the file for that nic. If you don't want eth0 to try connect at startup time, then edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Change the line ONBOOT=yes to ONBOOT=no
