Description Pekka Savola 2000-06-14 09:47:21 UTC 
Also see #12071.

Any non-specified interface gets a configuration like this:
----
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
----

I don't know if this is the best way.  If you don't have DHCP servers
around, the startup will be like 10s slower.  Anyway, user intervention   
should probably be required when adding those extra interfaces.  I'd
suggest putting ONBOOT=no for any NIC that hasn't been specified anywhere.
