try loading it with the option of --bind-address=127.0.0.1
or --skip-networking. i use the --bind-address=127.0.0.1 for
secure mysql servers that recieve client connections from
stunnel. you can use --skip-networking if you want to ONLY
allow mysql connections via the socket file (just tell
the mysql client to use 'localhost' and it will use sockets).

while i haven't tried it myself without any ethernet
interfaces it should work ......

good luck
