My network configurations will not save on reboot!!! Why is this? I’m
using the phlip
network configuration agent in Photon. This happens:
(1) When I start up io-net has started, but has set up some PPP
connection (perhaps here is a catch…). It seems that no network card
has been found.
In photon network configuration, no device is showing and no setup done.
(2) If i call nettrap -pttcpip start, this finds my 3Com Etherlink II
card. Now a device is showing in Photon network configuration. I set up
the IP, servers, etc. and press Apply/Done. The setup is saved in the
/etc/net.cfg file.
(3) I reboot, and everything is back to the state as in (1), no setup,
no network card, and things does not generally work like I want it to.
I need some kind of step by step procedure here to fix this…

PS! Oh yeah, I did upgrade to ver.6 latest patch yesterday.

The only thing I can tell is the enumerater can find your driver.
Don’t know why.
To work arround it:
- login as root
- vi /etc/rc/rc.local
- add these lines and save the file:
slay io-net
nettrap -pttcpip
on -w /dev/io-net/en0
netmanager
- chmod a+x /etc/rc/rc.local
- reboot
