Network Interface Configuration Files

The configuration files for NICs are in /etc/rc.config.d/

• netconf
• hp<driver>conf
  • hpgelanconf
  • hpbt100conf

Each card is configured through the respective /etc/rc.config.d/hp<driver>conf file, then activated through the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file. At this point the network or server can be restarted to have the new settings take effect.

/sbin/init.d/net.init start
/sbin/init.d/net start
/sbin/init.d/hpgelan start
