Symptons: 1. Using an ethernet card, everything works great. 2. Switching over to using the wireless card, everything works great ... until a reboot. 3. On reboot, AppleTV does not have an IP address. 4. If you simply, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, everything works great.
I found a previous posting on this forume which addresses this. We add a 10 second sleep in the /etc/network/interfaces file, so that it has time to acquire the IP address. iface eth0 inet dhcp iface wlan0 inet dhcp pre-up sleep 10 The pre-up sleep works great, I always have an IP address. Now I am running into a slightly different but related problem. It looks like the GDM is starting so fast and firing up MythFrontend, that it does not have the IP address before it is started. So then I get a setup screen wanting me to choose an language and it says it cannot find any backends. SSHing into the box and doing a sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, corrects the issue and the frontend is restarted (no mouse on the system). So, I have edited the gdm init.d script and put a sleep statement before it launches the UI. This should work around the issue for now, but I am wondering if there is a better *nix way to do that. Any ideas? TIA, Dave -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en
