Victor,
Work is using a wired lan, no wave lan, for which I have a 3com card, no dhcp,
need to staticaly reconfigure for DNS, netmask, domain name, router.
Home, uses dhcp with the WaveLan Card conneted to a residential gateway and
all works here is how i configure the card from /etc/pccard.conf
# Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
config 0x1 "wi" ?
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -s ANY
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -n <WAVELAN RG SERIAL NO>
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k <ENCRYPTION KEY> -v 1
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -T 1
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -e 1
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -p 1
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
friend also has a wireless lan but uses an access point and this is how I
configure the pccard.conf file when I go round to his place
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
config 0x1 "wi" ?
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -s "Dribble"
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -n ""
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -p 1
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
so I have three distinct configs that I want to run with depending on where I
am.
Work:- static IP address, work DNS, work default route, work domain name
Home:- Dhcp configured + home wavelan setup
Friend:- Dhcp Configured + Friend wavelan setup
Therefore I want to be able to configure the wavelan depentant on which slot I
stick it in, and a futher confguration for work with a totally diferent NIC.
But it would appear that I can only have one network interface defined in
rc.conf.
Hope this clarifies the situation.
