Title: Several network devices at the same time
Post by: romain on June 03, 2004, 09:40:25 pm

Hello,

I would like to use my sl6000 as a router, but I didn\'t find a way to have 2 network devices at the same time. The network configuration software sux and for example I need to switch off the wireless lan to switch on my ethernet CF card...
I didn\'t manage to activate both interfaces with the command line, because once the cf ethernet card is plugged into the Z, the system switch it off and I didn\'t find a way to reactivate it...
Does someone has an idea ?

Thank you

In order to activate the CF card, as root launch:

#cardctl scheme CardResume

and that\'ll bring the cf card alive.

Hope that helps.

Yes, it works ! thank you very much !!
So, to transform the zaurus to a basic router box. follow these instructions :
* reactivate cards with cardctl (cardctl status to get info about your cards)
* configure them (ifconfig)
* and activate routing :
echo 1 ] /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

That\'s all !
