It is a pain because I have a bunch of NFS client mounts I have to manually remount after starting up. I have 3 machines with the same problem. I am using the standard ifup with eth1 configured to start at boot time and wlan1 to start manually. This worked fine until about 2 weeks ago. rcnetwork start works fine after the machine has booted: rcnetwork start Hint: you may set mandatory devices in /etc/sysconfig/network/config Setting up network interfaces: lo lo IP address: 127.0.0.1/8 Checking for network time protocol daemon (NTPD): doneed eth1 device: Intel Corporation 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) eth1 IP address: 192.168.1.106/24 Checking for network time protocol daemon (NTPD): doneed wlan1 device: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) wlan1 Startmode is 'manual' skipped Setting up service network . . . . . . . . . . . . . . done.
