Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
For a device (beaglebone black) I am looking for a solution |
4 |
of the following problem: |
5 |
|
6 |
This little computer boots a fully blown Gentoo linux. It is |
7 |
used mostly as headless device (capturing data from attached |
8 |
sensors). |
9 |
|
10 |
From time to time I want access it via LAN. |
11 |
|
12 |
If the device was booted without LAN attached, the configured |
13 |
ethernet was not found and dhcpd fails. |
14 |
So Gentoo goes into "no LAN"-mode (or something like that). |
15 |
|
16 |
|
17 |
|
18 |
Is there a less "waiting for the timeout"-prone way to refresh |
19 |
the status of the LAN beside putting the accoring init-script |
20 |
into a cron job ??? |
21 |
|
22 |
|
23 |
Is there a way to check, whether a RJ45 was plugged into the |
24 |
device and if so to start init-script then? |
25 |
|
26 |
Thank you very much in advance for any help! |
27 |
Best regards, |
