I have the following /etc/conf.d/net:
Firstly, you really should look at /etc/conf.d/net.example and upgrade your config to the new format. > config_eth0="192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" > routes_eth0="default via 192.168.1.1" > > config_ath0="192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" > mode_ath0="master" > essid_ath0="mynetwork" > > config_eth1="192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" > > config_eth2="192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" Err, you can't assign the same IP to multiple interfaces. You mention DHCP, did you mean that eth1 and eth2 are to get a DHCP leases from another server? If so, do this: config_eth1=( "dhcp" ) config_eth2=( "dhcp" ) > I've started net.eth1 and net.eth2 (both are links to net.lo) and restarted > dnsmasq.

What are you using dnsmasq for? -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
