FX Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Im trying out the madwifi drivers for my Atheros card and then seem to work fine but........ In order for me to get them to work I kind of have to jump through hoops. I don't mind but the wife may if I install them on her laptop. Here is what I am talking about. First I have to take down my eth0 card. "ifconfig eth0 down" Then I have to bring up my ath0 card "ifconfig ath0 up 192.xxx.x.xxx" I have a static ip set to the pcs. Now I can ping the lan pcs, but cant get out into the world unless I do.... "route add default gw 192.xxx.x.xxx" Then everything works find. One problem with all of that though......... I don't want to have to do that. I would like to have all of that working on boot, but I don't know how. I think I have to make startup scripts, maybe? and if so how? Where is cybrjackle when you need him. FX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FX Posted May 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Ok I got it solved. Got to give thanks to those in #slackware who helped. Here is what I did..... Opened up "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" and added these lines....... ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig ath0 up 192.168.0.6 route add default gw 192.168.0.1 I'll have to use some cli to bring up the eth0 card when its hardwired, but thats fine. Hope this may help others. FX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
