Unfortunately, the OLPC has Network Manager, which "knows better". [I *have* been able to use ifconfig to assign a _mesh_ address on a F10 Joyride (which otherwise has mesh support broken).] But I have *not* been able to assign a static ip address when a "real" network was involved - Network Manager intervenes and "destroys" whatever setup I've configured. [And if I stop Network manager, the XO manages to 'vanish' the *hardware* device to which I would be assigning my static-address communications interface.] The rest of my ethernet LAN uses static ip addresses. But I had to explicitly provide a DHCP server on my ethernet, just so I could let Network Manager "do its thing" to connect my XO to the ethernet. mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
