add tokenring. just add a startup script could be the same as net.eth0 conf.d/net should have something like #iface_tr0="10.70.3.251 broadcast 10.70.3.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" and #gateway="tr0/10.70.3.254"
Erm, just cp net.eth0 to net.tr0 and add the config options. That is the whole idea ...
maybe this should be documented, since i've found nothing
It is sorda. From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml : --------- Code listing 16.6: Boottime Network Configuration # nano -w /etc/conf.d/net # rc-update add net.eth0 default If you have multiple network cards you need to create additional net.ethx scripts for each one (x = 1, 2, ...): ---------- Guess we could include net.tr? there just to be specific. Colin ?
This shouldn't be a problem, since tr is, afaik, the only real interface. All the rest (isdn, ppp, ippp, tun, tap, slip, ...) are virtuals and don't need a /etc/init.d/net.* script.
Added in the docs.
