If you look at net/ipv4/ipconfig.c you will see that the ip in the command line is assigned to a single parameter, ic_myaddr. It is my understanding that this parameter was meant for providing an IP to a machine that needs the IP during the boot process (e.g. for nfsroot). The rest of the IP addresses are expected to be setup by userland program, i.e. "/etc/init.d/network start" does it. > -----Original Message----- > From: kernelnewbies-bounce@nl.linux.org > [mailto:kernelnewbies-bounce@nl.linux.org]On Behalf Of ramprasad > Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 11:29 PM > To: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org > Cc: srini > Subject: Configuring Two Ethernet Cards > > > Hello all, > > I have a target board running linux.
