If I have my ip addresses set in the /etc/init.d/network (for slink), then upgrade to potato, do I need to redo the ifconfig but in /etc/network/interface. I use to run slink I configures my cards in the /etc/init.d/network then I upgraded to potato. Now if I look in the /etc/network/interfaces file its empty. But when I do a ifconfig I can see both card. Will I need to transfer all the ip information over? Jay

A fairly standard example is attached; if you don't have one customise this one then place it in /etc/init.d and run # chmod a+rx /etc/init.d/network # update-rc.d network start 40 S .
