1º for config wireless card i notice that only iwconfig tool in dsl control panel make the scrip in myiwconfig.sh (to write line in bootlocal.sh and automatice boot) the other tools netcard config and wlanconfig no. Iwconfig only is in mode managed ,ad-hoc no ¿who is the reason of two "tools" for the same target?. The ifconfig ok ...

Issue two: and I'm less certain about this, is that I had erratic problems with network connection thru a usb to ethernet (netgear ea101)adapter (the ibm 560z has no builtin ethernet) while using the pcmcia cdrom. So I'm wondering about a possible timeing or sequencing issue here?

Swaping out the netgear and replacing it with a SMC 2208 usb to ethernet adaptor solves this issue. The hardware is OK (runs perfectly in win98) so it's a driver issue apparently limited to this model?

Code Sample

#!/bin/bash
# put other system startup command here
export PRINTER=lp
start_gtk2 &
#/usr/sbin/cupsd
killall -9 pump
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 ip 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
echo nameserver 192.168.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf
ifconfig eth0 up
nmbd
smbd
/etc/init.d/ssh start &
loadkeys it

using this /opt/bootlocal.sh
my ip is 192.168.0.92 and not 192.168.0.2 and if I reboot it changes again.

the case for germany in .xinitrc can be applied also for italian keyborad "it".

jls legalize,

Probably would be easier to boot with the nodhcp option than to kill pump and ifdown eth0 to get rid the auto supplied ip. Or if you have grub or lilo add the nodhcp option in their respective boot strings. Otherwise, you may need to sleep, no, not you, in the script to allow time for the device to become free. Still I think nohdcp is better solution.
