Still no 100% sure about your requirement, approach and goal. Anyway, I assume (please confirm, since I'm wrong in the most of times) that you are not trying to take a shortcut like (netcfg eth0 dhcp) to make your interface/device to work and what you really want is something like Wifi or Bluetooth that has a nice setting ui with a status icon and can work with other interfaces(eg. 3g, airplan mode) correctly. And you are willing to add new code into the framework for your interface. For this, you can start at the files in framework/base/wifi/*.java
Also, in Android-x86, we have implemented Ethernet support, you may take a look at http://git.android-x86.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=commit;h=73c8442658704e5749c5fc6fd6f93c15fcf1d7c6 http://git.android-x86.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=commit;h=ed0db68a4733396c22b4fe88ff72ad0699e0fc49 http://git.android-x86.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=commit;h=b3de8efe6b88a345310abb71e890025d50caf86b On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 11:50 AM, Metuki Sabhe <sabhe.met...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Yi Sun, > > Can you please elaborate ? > > I am adding a new interface which will have a gateway to the internet, > what should I do to make the framework recognize it ? > > Can you please point me to a file(s) I should use as a reference ? > > Thanks, > Sabhe > > On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 8:03 PM, Yi Sun <beyo...@gmail.com> wrote: >> You need to do this in the status tracker as the wifi does >> >> On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 7:59 AM, Metuki Sabhe <sabhe.met...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> hi, >>> >>> I use dhcpcd to get DHCP properties on a new interface I created (not >>> wifi). >>> DHCP succeeds, and I can see all the dhcp.myinterface0.xxx properties >>> get set correctly. >>> But dns still doesn't work, and indeed net.dns1 is still not set by >>> dhcpcd, only dhcp.xxx.dns1 is set. >>> >>> I tried to add "setprop net.dns1 xxx" to the file: >>> to /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/20-dns.conf >>> but it didn't work, because dhcpcd runs not as root anymore >>> (can I prevent it from dropping the root credentials btw ? i couldn't >>> find how). >>> >>> How should I get net.dns1 to be set too ? >>> What is the relation between dhcp.xxx.dns1 and net.dns1 ? >>> Who is setting net.dns1 ? >>> I guess that the framework is doing that, but should it work >>> automagically on any interface ? >>> Anyway I can do that from dhcpcd ? >>> >>> thanks!!! >>> sabhe >>> >>> -- >>> unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com >>> website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting >> >> >> >> -- >> Android-x86 >> http://www.android-x86.org >> >> -- >> unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com >> website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting > > -- > unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting -- Android-x86 http://www.android-x86.org -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
