Type this:

ifconfig --help

and you will get the following output.
Use the output to determine how you need to enter your IP parameters.


Usage:
 ifconfig [-a] [-v] [-s] <interface> [[<AF>] <address>]
 [add <address>[/<prefixlen>]]
 [del <address>[/<prefixlen>]]
 [[-]broadcast [<address>]]  [[-]pointopoint [<address>]]
 [netmask <address>]  [dstaddr <address>]  [tunnel <address>]
 [outfill <NN>] [keepalive <NN>]
 [hw <HW> <address>]  [metric <NN>]  [mtu <NN>]
 [[-]trailers]  [[-]arp]  [[-]allmulti]
 [multicast]  [[-]promisc]
 [mem_start <NN>]  [io_addr <NN>]  [irq <NN>]  [media <type>]
 [txqueuelen <NN>]
 [[-]dynamic]
 [up|down] ...

Most realtek cards work great in Linux.

You forgot one dash "-" symbol for your help.

The command is:

ifconfig --help

and NOT

ifconfig -help

Also, if you want to use a static IP address, you can boot with:

dsl xsetup nodhcp

and then run the netcardconfig script and manually enter your network TCP/IP settings.

1. Get Yahoo messenger from the myDSL repository and install it.
2. Read the documentation on the backup/restore process and/or search the forums for keyword filetool.lst and search ALL FORUMS and FROM THE BEGINNING and OR NEWER.
4. Search the forums for static AND IP AND bootlocal.sh
5. Search the forums for Mount.app
6. You're welcome
