The network interfaces become initialized before initd is starting. The first script which becomes executed in runlevel 2, is a script which copies some configuration files. It copies also a updated interfaces file. But because the network is initialized already, my wlan interface does not become up anymore. I fixed it my way. :) What's the reason not using a init script for initializing the network?

RE: [leaf-user] Problems with RC4
I noticed that you said your setup is approximately 60mb, I'm curious to a couple of things. 1 What is the purpose of running such a system from CD? I understand the need for quick booting, but would this make a static system, you can only modify so much, I assume that you are still using a floppy disk to make changes to config files and such? 2 There have been a few other threads that you might check through the archives of people putting more and more onto a LEAF release, one thing I had looked at was putting a fax server on a LEAF router. Something with a multiport card, storage would be offsite (ie a fileserver), in essence you could have a 2U box in your rack that serves as a multipurpose unit. 3 As a suggestion to your mySQL problem, double check your users accounts, I seem to recall someone else having a user account problem when migrating between the different Bering releases. Good luck, and I look forward to seeing your write up when you complete everything.
