 |
|
I'm building a computer to act as a media center pc for my room, and, as I can't run ethernet in there, it has wireless. It also has builtin 10/100 ethernet.
In case it matters: the wireless card is a Linksys WMP54Gv4 with a RT2500 chipset, using nidswrapper, connecting to a WRT54G using 128-bit WEP. The ethernet is a Realtek 8139 chip on a Chaintech 7NJL6.
Anyway, while I was setting it up, I used DHCP and eth0 as the main interface, as it was much faster than wireless. Now that I'm getting ready to put in my room I'm setting it up to be using a static ip and just using the wireless. So, I removed eth0 from the default runlevel, and in /etc/conf.d/net I added
| Code: | | gateway="wlan0/192.168.1.1" |
like I saw in the gentoo handbook. However, when I boot the computer, eth0 still comes up (with the proper IP!!), and (tries) to act as the gateway.
What am I doing wrong? |

How did you remove net.eth0 from startup? I'd check the symlinks in all the runlevels if I were you, it might still be stuck somewhere there. 
With regards to the wireless interface, seems like you need to add its startup script to the default runlevel. |

I did a | Code: | | rc-update del net.eth0 default |
wlan0 (the wireless device) is on my default runlevel, and rc-status shows that eth0 isn't on any runlevels. I guess it could be stuck in the symlinks somewhere... where's the directory for all of that?
While watching the computer come up, I see as wlan0 connects to my router and everything, but as it says "Adding default gateway 192.168.1.1/24" it has the little [!!] after it, and just keeps right on trucking. |
