Changing this to /etc/init.d/functions.sh might work but I'm not sure.

This one's a little more tricky. Looks like the application was designed for 
RedHat or a derivative. I checked from Google and found that this file 
normally contains something similar to:

NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=yes
HOSTNAME=deep. openna.com
GATEWAY=0.0.0.0
GATEWAYDEV=

What bpalogin probably wants to know about is GATEWAYDEV, but try putting all 
that (changing to your settings of course) into a file somewhere and point 
the initscript to it.

If this works, great! If it doesn't, you should get more specific errors and 
we can go from there. ;-)
