Remove the # in the beginning of the line, and change the IPs to suit your network configura-
tion. For instance, you may want the following configuration:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.162.10
network 192.168.162.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.162.255
gateway 192.168.162.1
Don't forget to run
saveconf
to save this configuration in the flash, so that it can be restored
in the next boot. Run
cardctl insert
to load the network drivers with the new configuration.
Wireless LAN PC Cards
First do the appropriate PCMCIA network configuration. Additionally, the configuration of
the wireless driver is done in the following file:
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts
For instance, to configure the network name as
MyPrivateNet
, and the WEP encryption key
as
secul
, the following settings could be added to the default “
*,*,*,*)"
entry :
*,*,*,*)
INFO="This is a test"
ESSID="MyPrivateNet"
KEY="s:secu1"
Note:
Do not use
ifconfig
to change the network settings for the PCMCIA
device. Otherwise, you may be unable to unload the network driver during
cardctl
eject and the BLACK BOX
®
Advanced Console Server may hang. The
correct way is to change the
/etc/network/interfaces
file.
