Hey all- I'm running ubuntu 5.10, and trying to understand how the linux bootup process works.. Right now upon bootup I'd like to change two things: Not ifup eth0 Configure wpa_supplicant to boot up with the right parameters in order to configure itself to the wireless network here. I think I figured out how to get the wpa_supplicant to work-- I just edited /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant and changed $OPTIONS to the arguments I need in order for it to work. For disabling eth0 on bootup, I could modify /etc/init.d/networking and change the command "ifup -a" to "ifup wlan0" to just boot up my wlan0 on bootup, but I feel there might be an easier way to do this... Hope you can help! -Mike --------------------------- Michael A Cretella Worcester Polytechnic Institute Electrical Computer Engineering '07 cretella@wpi.edu (203)610-3618
