network start time
hi Ron...
i entered the code in the file /etc/init.d/network. the top 2 lines already
existed (it's the local loopback device, i guess). after i executed the script
and did "ifconfig", i see "lo" and "eth0" with the parameters i entered in
/.../network. GOOD!
i like to have "network" executed automatically at boottime,(with noone logged
in) which actually is the case, but apearently BEFORE (!) the drivers for my
nic are loaded :(((. So the problem is that "eth0" cannot be matched with an
IP adress when "network" is executed later on.
I cannot find out which script is responsible for loading the drivers (with
"insmod" commands or "aliases"), as these drivers (PCMCIA) were compiled into
the kernel when i installed the system.
a link to "network" is /etc/rcS.d/@S40network, but i don't know when "network"
is called.
Question: how can i manipulate the time when "network" is executed so that the
network is started AFTER the card has been probed for?
Thanx
Rob
