[Voyage-linux] Internet connection
When starting Voyage Linux the init process searches for an ethernet device and connected this to a DHCP router. If the cable to this router is not pluged in the connection fails. Is it possible to plug in the cable later an then Voyage Linux automatically searches for a DHCP router again?

Rainer I noticed that pump makes the DHCP connection. But pump is only executable as root. How is it possible to make a pump from a user program if the DHCP connection is not available? And if pump fails to set a timeoutvalue for this function...? you could simply try apt-get install network-manager cheers --Jan signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
Re: [Voyage-linux] Internet connection
What you really want is ifplugd. apt-get ifplugd. Be sure to edit the /etc/defaults/ifplugd file, and add your ethernet device to INTERFACES. ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with on-board network adapters, since it will only configure the interface when a cable is really connected.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Internet connection
Hi all, On a similar note.. this may be completely impossible, but does anyone know of an app that is able to auto configure an internet connection if it requires a static IP. EG, there is no user to specify the internet connection variables and the app is able to work those out based on some sort of nmap scan or something.
