Ooh, I see your way, you put net-profile in the background process
(@net-profiles) in the daemon section. It make sense,
I originally think to do it that way in net profile itself, saying:
NET-PROFILE=(ethernet-static @adsl-home) so we can easily see if and which
net profile fails when booting up.but if it's hard to implement so forget
it.
Thanks very much.
