|
In the Gentoo Handbook http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=2 the code listing of 2.1 on defining dependencies of an interface in /etc/conf.d/net file is the following:
| Quote: | depend_br0 () {
need net.eth0 } |
Here the handbook forward us to the Writing init Script chapter of the Gentoo Handbook.
I followed this with the script below:
| Quote: | # 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 :]!).
modules=("iwconfig")
essid_wlan0="ESSID"
channel_wlan0="6"
key_ESSID="******** enc restricted"
config_ESSID=("dhcp")
# These are configurations for the LAN interfaces
depend_eth0 () {
need net.wlan0 }
config_eth0=("192.168.3.1/24")
routes_eth0=(
"default via 192.168.0.1")
depend_eth1 () {
need net.wlan0 }
config_eth1=("192.168.2.1/24")
routes_eth1=(
"default via 192.168.0.1") |
At boot the system conplained dropping "syntax error: unexpected end of file in line xx" where xx was the number +1 of the last line.
After consulting nic makkk on #gentoo, he changed the script:
| Quote: | # 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 :]!).
modules=("iwconfig")
essid_wlan0="ESSID"
channel_wlan0="6"
key_ESSID="******** enc restricted"
config_ESSID=("dhcp")
# These are configurations for the LAN interfaces
RC_NEED_eth0="net.wlan0"
config_eth0=("192.168.3.1/24")
routes_eth0=(
"default via 192.168.0.1")
RC_NEED_eth1="net.wlan0"
config_eth1=("192.168.2.1/24")
routes_eth1=(
"default via 192.168.0.1") |
This way the script works. (This is an other issue that my wlan0 is not up, but that is a different story.)
Pls. check if I made a mistake or the Handbook should be corrected/updated.
