Hi friends, for some reasons during the debian (potato) installation I had to leave out my Ne2000 compatible network-card. I plugged it in later and installed the module 'ne'. wonderful,no ioport-problems nor irq-problems. Now I want to setup the network... I created the file '/etc/network' whith commands like 'ifconfig, route and so on' . as an executable scriptfile.
As this file should be executed at boot time I have to create furthermore some symbol links in /etc/init.d/??? ,beginning with SXXname. now the questions: 1)Are there any rules for choosing the number XX ? This will obviously arrange the sequence of starting up different scripts. That means are there any scripts which have to be started before configuring the network? 2)Do I also have to create a killing script KXXname? 3) I suppose that in each runlevel in which I want to use the network capabilities, I have to create this symbol-link also, right? thank you Christian (beginner)
