Hello list, I have a question about the configuration files for the client side of a network connection using using kernel-image and pcmcia-modules made with the make-kpkg procedure. I have successfully made and installed the packages (based on the 2.4.20 kernel) and my card is recognized and comes up automatically upon insertion. Initially, I could successfully connect to the internet through my dhcp supplier (here at the university) but the next day I tried the same procedure, but, although I received an updated /etc/resolv.conf file, I was unable to even ping any address. I have realized that there are (at least) three different places that one can place things like address, network, netmask, etc., namely, /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/pcmcia/network.opts, and /etc/dhclient.conf. I initially had my configuration in /etc/pmcia/network.opts but after the failure to connect the second day, I have tried other options without success. My question is are they really necessary, since DHCP seems to be able to provide all the necessary data, and if having this information anywhere will somehow interfere with the ability to connect. Thank you for any help that you may give me on this matter.
