I am trying to make my plip connection start automatically at boot
time. I have plip support compiled as a module and I can make it work
just fine by typing the commands
ifconfig plip2 main pointopoint remote up
route add remote
OK, so far so good. Now I want to use netcfg to automate all of this at
boot time. My questions are:
1. Once you select add interface in netcfg, and select plip, the default
plip interface is plip0, but I need plip2. How can I get plip2 here?
2. If the plip module is not loaded, I *must* use insmod to load the
module when running the ifconfig command from the command line. If I
don't, I get the following messages:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device
My /var/log/messages says:
Nov 18 16:00:45 main modprobe: Can't locate module plip2
I thought that the kernel was supposed to load any modules when needed.
I *do* have this compiled in, and it works fine for all other modules.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Paul
