Configure Network On Boot-up In Beta1

[telemetric_au]

im looking for somewhere to either exec a script from or put in the ifconfig line to assign an ip to my network card on boot before i login but after the sd and cf card slots are initialised... ?

thanks again,

Hayden.

im found a way by modifying this from here:

Try adding the following to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc :

if [ $runlevel -eq 5 ]; then
export HOME=/home/root
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx
fi

except when i login in now through ssh (without having to login on the z) it locks up ??

do i need to login to the z first ??

If you poke around on Meanie's site, you can find how to auto-login. That should solve your problems.

i had a look into his site, couldnt find the login part, but reading what he has there pointed me in the right direction, that and looking at my /var/log/messages after inserting my cf ethernet...

i found in /etc/pcmcia/

network and network.opts

made some changes and now it assigns an ip automatically apon insert or boot without even having to login ! swell

network.opts:

Code: [Select]

# Network adapter configuration
#
# The address format is "scheme,socket,instance,hwaddr".
#
# Note: the "network address" here is NOT the same as the IP address.
# See the Networking HOWTO.  In short, the network address is the IP
# address masked by the netmask.
#
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*,*|default,*,*,*)
    BOOTP=n
    DHCP=n
    IPADDR=192.168.129.201
    start_fn () { return; }
    stop_fn () { return; }
