Hi,
I'm running archlinux on my laptop, and I currently have 4 network profiles set up, 1 for the wired connection, and then 3 different wireless networks that I connect to. It's working fine, except that when a network connection isn't available at boot, (and usually this is the case for all but one of them) the machine spends forever trying to connect to it before it realizes it can't, and moves on to the next connection. This accounts for almost half of the boot time of my machine. Is there anything I can do to speed things up?
Thanks,
Zerathidune

I use the menu option for wireless on my laptop. so I can tell it which one to connect to when I boot. This probably has the info you want.

Well, that's an improvement, but is there really no way for it to quickly automatically detect that a network isn't available? iwlist comes back with results almost instantly, so it would seem like there should be some way for it to know just as quickly that an essid simply isn't available, though I don't know what you'd do about the wired connection.

With the menu option you choose, I guess the idea is that you know. For wired you could use ifplugd.
