etho bootup dhcp wait time change
 

How do i change the time for my network card looking for a network connection.When im not in lan and i try to boot it waits for ever.I cant seem to find the config on my own.

I need to change this to like 15 sec.

Oh my goodness the network config for Mandy is a great big horking mess...

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcg-eth0 (or something close to that) feeds into ifup, which is a symlink to this monstrous script called: /sbin/ifup, which has a line in it, about midway through:

DHCP_ARGS=

First make certain that you have dhcpcd installed, as that's what it is probably using, do this with:

ls /sbin/dhcpcd

If its there change that other line to:

DHCP_ARGS= -t 15 (or maybe) "-t 15"

That being timeout=15 seconds instead of 60, the default.

Cheers,

i tried putting "-t 15" it dint work. Any ideas?

Yeah, why don't you disable dhcp eth at boot up, then it will take 0 time if you are not in a network. Then if you wanna connect, just do the ifup command and it'll log you in if you are connected!
:D
