changing IP address on mipsel-linux

["Ratin" <mrahman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not sure if this is the right mailing list (new here) but how would you 
change the IP address parmanently on
a box having IDT C32H434 CPU ? There seems to be no /etc/init.d/network on 
this box. I could
do it with ifconfig but I need to make parmanent change as well as effective 
right away.

The other question is when I change the IP address on the fly with ifconfig, 
is there a way to make the
inet listener apps (that are running in the background) to autometically 
listen on the new IP address?

Thanks,

Ratin
