Hello.
Since yesterday I'm discovering the joys of WiFi throught a PCMCIA card
in my laptop and a freshly set up home WiFi network. As this is going
to be my main setup for at least a couple of days now, I've changed my
/etc/network/interfaces to something like this:
> auto lo
> iface lo inet loopback
>
> # auto eth0=lan
> auto eth1=dhcp
>
> iface lan inet static
> address 192.168.1.20
> netmask 255.255.255.0
> gateway 192.168.1.1
> dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1
>
> iface dhcp inet dhcp
> dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1
(previously, I've been mainly using
a static IP bound to my Ethernet NIC).
Unfortunately, the network is brought up before the PCMCIA cards
are loaded, so the eth1 device is not there yet[1] and I'm left
with bringing the network up manually each time. Couldn't the network
setup be moved a bit later in the boot process, so it happens after
the PCMCIA card loading?
[1] aside: where can I find the log of the boot messages? it used to be
in /var/log/boot, but it's missing since I've reinstalled the system...
Cheers,
