Re: Two fixed network cards
I have a slightly different situation, at home my machine has a fixed
static address in my local network. But at school it uses dhcp. Both
places use wired ethernet so I only deal with 1 eth0 here. So is there
a way / or tool that can help me do this task
Ask where am I : if (home) {set eth0 to use this static config} if
(school) {set eth0 to use dhcp}
what I am having now is 2 /etc/network/interface file, one for home ,
one for school and I have to change them according to where am I. An
automated task would be good.
Thanks
Dell Inspiron 5100 + DHCP
Can anyone gets the Broadcom's nic in the i5100 works with DHCP ? It runs fine on static ip but it just timed out when requesting dhcp, it can't reach the router. And there's nothing wrong with my router running as a dhcp server because all my other machines, all run Debian, can dhcp request fine. So if anyone could get this nic works w/ dhcp then there's something wrong w/ my linux setting on this particular machine, otherwise, that means I have to go buy a pcmcia ethernet card. TIA, ThanhVu Nguyen
Re: Dell Inspiron 5100 + DHCP
I am using the b44 (experimental) driver in kernel 2.4.22 , I think I'll try the bcm4400 and see if it helps.

Re: Dell Inspiron 5100 + DHCP
I tried using the bcm4400 , exact problem as before, static ip works fine but nothing from dhcp. Perhaps I am missing something ? do you do anyt special setup other than changing the static to dhcp in /etc/networking/interface and apt-get install dhcpclient ? What about kernel options ? need anything turn on / off ?

Creating a linux cd bootdisk
Hi, Normally before I just use the dd if=kernel of=/floppy bs=1k to create a boot floppy. now I have a laptop which has no floppy or cdrw, it does have a cdrom and can boot from cdrom however. So is there a way I can copy the kernel image to another computer with cdrw and create a cd bootdisk for the laptop from the other computer ? If so, how ? I use Debian, can I just use the Debian default's CD's to boot ? I never tried to boot using that way. TIA tvn --- ThanhVu H.
