I am looking for a kernel boot option that specifies "nonetwork" I have found in searching the nousb - nopcmcia etc.... but I have not found one for nonetwork. Is there one and what is it called?
Thanks,
Jerry

You can create profiles with system-config-network if needed and modify grub to reflect which network profile you want to use .. But i admit that since NetworkManager is there i don't use the profiles anymore : just use NM and just say that the nic doesn't have to start at boot (onboot=no) : if there is a connection detected, NM will use it

Thanks I was aware of those. however I was looking for a method on the kernel boot line (as in I am installing and I dont want the network driver to load).
I can accomplish this with noprobe but then everything is gone. There are individual items like nousb nopcmcia and I was looking and have not found one for nonetwork.

Closest kernel boot parameter seems to be the netdev= option. Could perhaps use it with the dummy.ko device - don't know the details of how that would work.
