I am having problems getting networking to start up on boot. I can get it running manually, but it seems like there is an interface problem between ifup/down and ifconfig.
I am running net-tools (ifconfig) 1.60.8 and ifupdown 0.6.4-4.6 but have also tried this with net-tools 1.60.4 and ifupdown 0.5.4-4 After bootingthe system, there are no network interfaces setup. If I manually run ifup -av I get the following output: Configuring interface lo=lo (inet) run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up ifconfig: only one address allowed for interface `lo' Usage: ifconfig [OPTION]... [SYSTEM OPTION]... Try `ifconfig --help' for more information. Configuring interface eth0=eth0 (inet) run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d pump -i eth0 run-parts /etc/network/if-up.d However networking comes up fine if I issue the commands: ifconfig lo up 127.0.0.1 pump -i eth0 Similarly, if I try ifdown -av I get: Configuring interface lo=lo (inet) run-parts /etc/network/if-down.d ifconfig lo down ifconfig: can not resolve `down': Unknown host Configuring interface eth0=eth0 (inet) run-parts /etc/network/if-down.d pump -i eth0 -k ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig: can not resolve `down': Host name lookup failure With regards to the boot sequence, in /etc/rcS.d I have: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Dec 8 07:31 /etc/rcS.d/S40ifupdown -> ../init.d/ifupdown lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Dec 8 07:31 /etc/rcS.d/S40networking -> ../init.d/networking I tried searching bugs and the changelogs for ifconfig and ifupdown and the forum archives but didn't see anything relavent. Anyone have any ideas where/what to look at next. TIA, Lou -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
