Hello Scott,
I don't need any IP address on eth0, but I need it to be up. I can
manually run "ifconfig eth0 up", but I can't figure out how to do this
automatically at boot time. I have tried to put in the following
in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0
However, ifup complains about incomplete parameters. Does anyone know the
correct way to solve this problem? Please keep in mind that I can already
do this from an /etc/rc.local script or somesuch, but I consider those
kind of solutions to be a hack, and I prefer to do things the
way "proper" way, ie. using the distro's scripts.
in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
The manual method is described in the manpage "interfaces"
Thank you for your advice.
The "manual" method is not described in the man page for "interfaces" on
this system that I have. It may be because it's running Debian 3.0. I
will probably use some kind of entry in /etc/rc.boot to get this working
at boot time.
