I just added the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces and my cable
modem works automagically after turning on my computer :)

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

note that you may have to change the eth0 to eth(whatever) if you have more
that one nic.

Hope this helps

put "via-rhine" in /etc/modules

for DHCP? in /etc/network/interfaces put "iface eth0 inet dhcp" man 5

Thanks.
About dhclient I'm not too sure, but for via-rhine, add the line "via-rhine" 
to /etc/modules

Mine looks like this:

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with

for modprobe via-rhine:
man modules

for my dhclient, it gets called automatically from
/etc/init.d/networking which is configured in /etc/network/interfaces.
see "man interfaces"

One method is to run
# echo 'via-rhine' >> /etc/modules

(/etc/modules is a list of modules to load at boot time.)

The method I use is to put
alias eth0 via-rhine
in /etc/modutils/Local and run 'update-modules'.

The former specifically loads the driver for your network card at boot
time.  The latter specifies that when "eth0" is accessed, if the
driver isn't already loaded then load it.

| dhclient

It's possible that this is actually run at boot time, but due to the
NIC's driver not being loaded it fails.  If that is the case, then the
above will solve this.

It's also possible that the network interface isn't being brought up
at boot time.  The solution is in /etc/network/interfaces.  Ensure the
line 'auto eth0' is in it.

Edit the file /etc/modules and add a line with the word 'via-rhine' to
it. This will load the via-rhine driver at boot.

Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add the line 'auto eth0' if your
ethernet device is eth0. It should look something like this

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

if your ethernet device really is eth0.

Cheers!

Add them to the /etc/modules file. actually drop the modprobe for the
via-rhine.

Not sure about dhclient

via-rhine & dhclient

2003-07-01 Thread Piero
Each time I turn onmy computer, I have to give commands:

modprobe via-rhine
dhclient
How can I have them authomatically executed at every boot? I guess it's 
simple, but I cannot find the solution in any handbook or any man page.
Thanks.
