Detecting the carrier during boot time.

Hi: I have Slackware 14.1 installed. When booting, the message

Code:

Polling DHCP server on interface eth0

appears and then 10 or 15 seconds ellapse before it continues with the boot process. I only use Wi-Fi and, if I remember well, when I first installed 14.1 it did not do that. Any way to make it obviate the carrier detection?

Change your /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file removing the "yes" from between the quotes on the USE_DHCP[0] line so it reads like below.

Code:

# Config information for eth0:

IPADDR[0]=""

NETMASK[0]=""

USE_DHCP[0]=""

DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""
