Hi Mick, thanks for your reply and answers! :) I have rooted the tablet, but I dont want to change "The inner core" (setup/boot scripts) until I know a little more about Android...it is quite a different Linux somehow. I thought of a temporary solution, which sets the MAC/IP from the commmandline until the tablet is booted again. create_ap is of great help for me...it be instructed to dump its configuration also, so I have a source for further inspections. Best regards, Meino
