Description Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-18 11:18:12 UTC
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"
Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-18 12:41:02 UTC
Erm, just cp net.eth0 to net.tr0 and add the config options.  That is the
whole idea ...
Comment 2 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-18 13:38:25 UTC
maybe this should be documented, since i've found nothing
Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-18 16:28:09 UTC
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 ?
Comment 4 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-07 03:34:36 UTC
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.
