Hi, |
| 2 |
Yes, this worked for booting. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
rc-update add net.rth0 default gave |
| 5 |
'already installed in runlevel default' |
| 6 |
and |
| 7 |
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |
| 8 |
'dhcpd:missing required function interface_is_up' |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The final message is the same as vI receive when booting. |
| 11 |
Gavin. |
