Hi list, |
| 2 |
i would like to share a problem that i'm encountering in dealing |
| 3 |
with two net interfaces. I've a "normal" ethernet device (eth0) and a |
| 4 |
wireless ipw2200 one (eth1). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1) i would like to have, at boot, a situation in which first of all |
| 7 |
eth0 is started; if dhcp signal is found proceed with the |
| 8 |
initialization of eth0, while if dhcp is not found try to start eth1. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
2) as of now, at boot time i've only eth0; obviously if it's not |
| 11 |
connected via ethernet cable the dhcp goes in timeout and net |
| 12 |
initialization is failed. Then at the prompt i reissue |
| 13 |
/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start to start wireless connection. However, and |
| 14 |
here's the problem, the first time i digit this, eth1 goes in timeout |
| 15 |
too. Digiting another time the same command and everythig goes well. |
| 16 |
This situation is encountered everytime. |

Thanks in advance for any hint, |
