On my laptop, I am using silent mode of fbsplash during boot. However, as I have wireless access in my office and wired access in my home (both dhcp), there is always one of the network services, either net.lan or net.wlan, will fail. This will take fbsplash into verbose mode when the service fails. It is a bit annoying. Is there any advice to keep the silent mode on and still can auto detect the network access? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
install ifplugd. It will automaticly detect when a cable is plugged into your network card and initialise your network. I think it will work similarily for your wlan as well. You may want to configure the wlan so it doesn't autoconnect to any rouge APs, but that is a minor annoyance. The process is described near the bottom of /etc/conf.d/net.example -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
