here is a quote from net.c from the install:
static char * findAvailableNetDevice(void) {
char * devices[] = { "eth0", "tr0", "plip0", "plip1", "plip2",
"fddi0", NULL };
char * device = NULL;
char ** deviceptr;
/* I should probably ask which device to use if multiple ones are
available -- oh well :-( */
for (deviceptr = devices; *deviceptr; deviceptr++) {
if (netDeviceAvailable(*deviceptr)) {
device = *deviceptr;
logMessage("%s is available -- using it for networking", device);
break;
}
}
return device;
}
so it's here that some things should/could be done...
cu Pixel.
