so i am starting to learn whereami (because i need to use something, not because i have made a decision), and while it wonderfully detects the correct environment and changes postfix and resolv.conf and printcap and whatnot, it fails to do one vital thing: giving an IP address to eth0 and settings routes. i may well be misunderstanding whereami, but i can't figure out how to get it to interact with ifupdown... whereami is called from /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/whereami, and it works like a charm. but no matter whether it detects the lan with a static ip, wireless, dhcp, or offline, the interface brought up is still controlled by /etc/network/interfaces. do i need to use mapping in this file, should i call ifup with a mapped name from whereami.conf, should i call ifconfig from there, or am i doing something completely wrong? thanks, -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than to fix a system
