[gentoo-user] /etc/conf.d/net syntax under new baselayout?

[gentoo-user] /etc/conf.d/net syntax under new baselayout?

[Walter Dnes]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1747 bytes --]

  I tried to follow the instructions for the baselayout upgrade...
- good news - the system boots
- bad news - networking is totally broken
- really good news - I have a "hot backup" machine, which I'm sending
  this message from <G>

  DMESG does show the Via-Rhine card coming up, and I do not use modules
for anything.  I simply have a honking big kernel.

  Here's my /etc/conf.d/net.  How does the syntax look?


# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d.  To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).

# Actually /usr/share/doc/openrc-<version>/net.example is where to look
# for example setup.

config_eth0=
"192.168.123.249/29 broadcast 192.168.123.255 mtu 1454
169.254.1.3/16 broadcast 169.254.255.255"
routes_eth0=
"default via 192.168.123.254 metric 2
192.168.123.248/29 via 192.168.123.254 metric 0
169.254.0.0/16 via 169.254.1.3 metric 0"


  In case anyone is wondering...
- the "default via 192.168.123.254 metric 2" allows a dialup connection
  to take priority, without me having to manually tear down eth0, and
  restart it after dialup finishes.  I don't use it that often, but when
  ADSL is down, it's nice to have a backup connection.
- The /29 route allows my main machine to talk to my other machine via
  eth0, even when a dialup session is in progress.
- The 169.254.x.y/16 stuff is for my network-enabled TV tuner box, which
  *INSISTS* on coming up with a "zero-config" address... "it's not a
  bug, it's a feature" so they say.

  File-attached is the last page of screen output from the boot process,
in case it'll help.

Hi Walter,

The quote on the line below this should be moved up, so it looks like:

config_eth0="
192.168.123.249/29 broadcast 192.168.123.255 mtu 1454
169.254.1.3/16 broadcast 169.254.255.255"
routes_eth0=

Same here:

routes_eth0="
default via 192.168.123.254 metric 2
192.168.123.248/29 via 192.168.123.254 metric 0
169.254.0.0/16 via 169.254.1.3 metric 0"

Try that and write back if it doesn't work.

William

Thank you, thank you, thank you verrry verrry much.

  That was it.  My main machine is running OK and I can think about
upgrading the hot backup machine.
