Hi, I want my kernel not to have an ethernet connection timeout when my machine is not networked. How do I go doing that? 1) Is it possible to supply a boot option to the kernel to stop this? 2) How could I at least reduce the timeout period? The only way I do this at the moment is recompile my kernel with no networking support but this is a very rough way to solve it as you may imagine.
