Re: network configuration??

[Elizabeth Barham <soggytrousers@yahoo.com>]

The name of the program that is being run is netenv; it is there to
aid laptop users who may change their network environment options
regularly (example, one for home, one for the office, another for a
remote location).

You can just disable netenv from being run. Probably the
easiest way is to edit /etc/init.d/netenv

---- begin /etc/init.d/netenv ----
#!/bin/sh

#######################################################
# NEW LINES
RUN_ME=0

if [ "$RUN_ME" = "0" ] ; then
	exit 0;
fi
# fin
#######################################################

test -x /sbin/netenv || exit 0

case "$1" in
    start | restart | force-reload | reload)
                /bin/rm -f /etc/netenv/netenv
                /sbin/netenv
                ;;
    stop)
                ;;
*)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}"
                exit 1
                ;;
esac
---- end /etc/init.d/netenv ----

The other method would be to remove the symbolic link in the
/etc/rc[0-9S].d directories. I find simply changing the init script
easier personally.

Make sure your /etc/network/interfaces is set up correctly, though.
