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, -- Shot -- My mind is going.
