I'd think like on real Linux box. Never needed that though so I can't comment on this one. However, I'm curious why you would need that at all. The routing schould be automatically configured when you insert a WLAN card or plug the Z into the craddle.

Every distro has its own method to do this. Of course, you can write an ad-hoc script to make the table permanent, but I'm interested in an "official" way to do it in OpenZaurus.

It can automatically detect which networks I have and configure the gateways I want to use??? Wow! Definitively OpenZaurus is ahead of its time..

Isn't this part of what the dhcp server does?

I certainly have my gateway and routing table setup for me automatically when I connect to my wifi network at uni.

OZ is debian based, so the "official" debian way should work on OZ.

I'm not using DHCP.

I have two subnetworks, and the devices in these subnetworks have fixed IPs.

Then maybe create two different PCMCIA "schemes". Google can tell you more about it.

Each scheme may contain an IP (static or dhcp); netmask, gateway etc.
You could even hack the scripts to do whatever you want during "ifup".

Yep, that's exactly how it works for me....since I'm using DHCP at home.

Anyways, if you would have spent some time actually looking for an answer to your problem (multiple networks w/ multiple configurations), you'd soon have found out
that the setup is trivial and switching between configurations a breeze.

This is a common problem for notebook users and has been solved a long time ago.
And there's extensive documentation available from google.

In fact, this setup is working perfectly on my network since day one. I've just asked for the best way to make the routing tables permanent in OZ.
I described my network topology just to make clear that dhcp solutions are not applicable.
Probably, the best solution is what Koen pointed out: look at the Debian way to do this.

Just in case anyone is interested.
The configuration file /etc/network/interfaces seems to be the right place to make routing table permanent.
The relevant lines in my configuration file look like this:

Code: [Select]

iface usbd0 inet static
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        address 192.168.129.201

up route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.129.1 dev usbd0
up route add default gw 192.168.129.1
down route del -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.129.1 dev usbd0
down route del default
