hi Ron... i entered the code in the file /etc/init.d/network. the top 2 lines already existed (it's the local loopback device, i guess). after i executed the script and did "ifconfig", i see "lo" and "eth0" with the parameters i entered in /.../network. GOOD! i like to have "network" executed automatically at boottime,(with noone logged in) which actually is the case, but apearently BEFORE (!) the drivers for my nic are loaded :(((. So the problem is that "eth0" cannot be matched with an IP adress when "network" is executed later on. I cannot find out which script is responsible for loading the drivers (with "insmod" commands or "aliases"), as these drivers (PCMCIA) were compiled into the kernel when i installed the system. a link to "network" is /etc/rcS.d/@S40network, but i don't know when "network" is called. Question: how can i manipulate the time when "network" is executed so that the network is started AFTER the card has been probed for?
