dhcp3-server and pcmcia
Hello,
I'm trying to use an old Compaq Contura with 2 3COM 3c589D pcmcia NIC's as a
router/firewall between my home network and my cable modem. I use
Debian3.0r2 and Shorewall 1.4. The internal network should be served with
DHCP(dhcp3).
Here are two little problems:
1) dhcp3-server won't start by itself. It is started from
/etc/rc2.d/S20dhcp3-server. The pcmcia service is also S20 from rc2.d. The
NIC's (at least the one for the internal network) seem not to be ready when
dhcp3-server is started. About 20 seconds after the pcmcia service is
started this nic's reports to be initialized. When I start dhcp3-server from
the commandline afterwards it starts without any problem.
2) Messages appear in the active console about switching from coax to
10baseT for eth0 (not connected yet). I found something in
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts (IF_PORT) but cannot figure out how this affects
each NIC. I tried 'ifport eth0 10baseT' from the command-line and this
works.
My question is how can I arrange both things the Debian way so I keep my
system standard (for updates and maintainance)?
Grts, Serge Tensen
