Startup operations

Be gentle… I’m slowly learning more about this wacky operating system.

My netgear card is not detected at startup. Thus, I must type the following
lines into the terminal to get it up:

slay io-net
in-net -d ns83815 -p ttcpip
netmanager -r en0

After that, I must go to network config and set my IP and netmask, as well
as enable the device.

Naturally, most of this has to be done as root. How do I get it to do these
during bootup, so I can log in as other users, and not have to hassle with
it as root?

create the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local and put the stuff in there.

However the card should be detected, they maybe a way
to add this card to the list of detectable card. I’m not
familliar with this, so somebody else will have to jump in.

You should only to network config once, it basically put all you input
into a file, and “netmanager” is the one to read the file and set
everything for you.

Edit/Create /etc/rc/rc.local, put those 3 lines in it, make sure you did
a “chmod a+x /etc/rc/rc.local”. The “rc.local” will be execuated while
system startup.
