Re: pcmcia network on boot

[ernst <ernst@bluezone.no>]

Hi
I did the same, looked at /etc/network/interfaces, but what u need is to
configure /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. Set up your static ip or just say
'yes' to dhcp or bootp.

Something like this:

    IPADDR=10.x.x.x
    NETMASK=255.255.x.x
    NETWORK=10.x.x.x
    BROADCAST=10.x.x.x
    GATEWAY=10.x.x.x
    DNS_1="62.179.100.29"
    DNS_2="62.179.100.30"

or

    DHCP="y"

good luck
