My take on choosing profiles on boot:
If you use a wired connection, you should rely on the site's DHCP server to handle your connection properly (after all, it works for all Mac and Windows users, and for most other Linux users).
If you use a wireless connection, net-auto-wireless is capable of automatically selecting the correct profile for you, no manual intervention required.
I don't understand the need for having to select a profile manually on boot, it seems wrong.
]]>in other words:
when /etc/conf.d/netcfg contains
NETWORKS=(menu)
profile named main is started (wired dhcp) but no dialog menu is presented and I have no possibility to choose profile I want.
Does anyone see same problem? Did I missed anything?
