Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was just thinking today how annoying it is that whenever I boot up my laptop, dhclient runs and tries to get an IP address on the ethernet interface until it's ^C'd. Since I often use the Ethernet interface this is not a bad default, but dhclient can't even realize on its own that there's no cable plugged in. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
