anyedie Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have been duel booting mandriva linux and xp for some time now, but every time I boot up in mandriva and I have my ethernet cord plugged in I have to reconfigure the ethernet network card, to recognize that it has a cord plugged in. Its not that big of a deal, but its getting kinda annoying. Im still not great with linux and bash, but im pretty sure that I could write a bash script that would run on startup that would go ahead and configure that for me. Can anyone here point me in the right direction? :D Thankx Sparta! Thankx Mubix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 What exact configuration changes do you need to make? Is it just: ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth0 up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mubix Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 actually you don't even have to do that much, dhclient eth0 is all you need. and you can put that in /etc/rc.local and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
