Delaying eth initialization is usually associated with the modules not knowing that there are two eth cards in the system. The easiest way to set this up is to place in your /etc/conf.modules file alias eth0 <network module> alias eth1 <network module> and then if the cards are the same then add the following: options <network module> io=0x300,0x280 or whatever address the cards are using. If Linuxconf has problems configuring network interfaces then we need to have bug reports specifically for linuxconf so we can fix problems associated with it. We are continuously trying to improve functionality of linuxconf. The reason for the ifup script to contain the if uid != 0 part, is so that if the root user configures it that way, normal users can bring up or down interfaces. The line USERCTL=yes/no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 dictates this. If the ONBOOT= is set to yes then when you boot the machine the uid does not matter. ------- Email Received From Raymond Willis <rayw> 01/21/99 10:15 ------- |
