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? - (possibly changing a timout variable for ethernet and recompile or any easier method of your suggestion.) 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. Note that ethernet setup occurs before the INIT starts, therefore I presume that this is a kernel related issue. Thanks, Bahadir -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
