Well, looks like I've finally got a kernel in my iBook which is going to allow all the things I want but haven't had (principally, accessing the rtc and ppp), so now I need to figure out how to manage the connectivity.
At the moment, my only connectivity is through eth0 when I'm at home, using a fixed IP address. What I'd like to do is set up a script allowing initially (a) no connectivity - (the way it will boot, in runlevel 3, so I guess I want things like loopback configured all the time) (b) connection to my home network via eth0 (c) modem connection via /dev/ppp0. I can live with having to reboot to change from network to ppp or vice versa, but I'm not at all familiar with any of this. I'm not even sure what I should search for on google to get pointers on how to do this. Anybody got any advice, please ?
