Every time my laptop boots, it wastes about two minutes trying to bring up eth0, even though the startup scripts actually print a message to the console that the media link is down (that is, that the Ethernet cable is unplugged). This seems silly.
Is there a good reason I'm not aware of to attempt to send DHCP requests to a nonexistent network connection, or is this a bug? If it is, what package should I file it against -- that is, which package creates that script? (I actually use a WiFi card to connect that laptop over 90% of the time.)
