Hi Nicolas and all,
I have an RG-1100 in bridge mode connected to a lan and trying to have the
laptop with an Orinoco Gold card connect to the lan.
I make some progress. Looks like the wireless card is loading but I get error
messages about eth0. Orinoco's instructions say to make an ifcfg-eth0 file like
this:
*,*,*,*)
IF_PORT=""
BOOTP="n"
IPADDR="10.0.0.5"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK="10.0.0.0"
BROADCAST="10.0.0.255"
GATEWAY="10.0.0.1"
DOMAIN="domain.org"
DNS_1="dns1.domain.org"
;;
This causes errors like:
localhost ifup: ./ifup: ifcfg-eth0: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token
`*,*,*,*)'
localhost ifup: ./ifup: ifcfg-eth0: line 1: `*,*,*,*)'
localhost ifup: ipcalc: ip address expected
localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locat module netmask
localhost ifup: netmask: unknown interface: No such device
localhost ifup: netmask: Hostname lookup failure
localhost ifup: SIOCADDRT: No such device
I don't understand what they are trying to do with the "*,*,*,*)" or the
parameters in quote marks or the ";;" at the end.
