Hi, For a device (beaglebone black) I am looking for a solution of the following problem:
This little computer boots a fully blown Gentoo linux. It is used mostly as headless device (capturing data from attached sensors). >From time to time I want access it via LAN. If the device was booted without LAN attached, the configured ethernet was not found and dhcpd fails. So Gentoo goes into "no LAN"-mode (or something like that). Is there a less "waiting for the timeout"-prone way to refresh the status of the LAN beside putting the accoring init-script into a cron job ??? Is there a way to check, whether a RJ45 was plugged into the device and if so to start init-script then? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc
