[wplug] SuSE Questions

[Robert Coutch]

I was going to reply and say I could help if you were attempting a PCMCIA or 
CardBus card but I have no experience with USB.

Then I realized that's not exactly true.  I have a Zaurus connected to my 
system via USB and it's setup like a network interface.

I added a the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-usb0   (this could be usb1 or 
usb2 or usb3 etc. depending which usb slot your system chooses).

Check your /var/log/messages to see what slot usb "slot" was chosen for the 
adapter. Other info about the USB device will appear here such as the kernel 
module chosen.

Here's the contents of the ifcfg-usb0 file:

STARTMODE=hotplug
BOOTPROTO='static'
IPADDR=192.168.129.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.
PREFIXLEN=24
BROADCAST=192.168.129.255
REMOTE_IPADDR=192.168.129.201

For you situation, you might just need to change BOOTPROTO to "dhcp.


Let me know if this helps,

Bob
