Subject description: net-setup/'Network Wizard' bugfix and improvement		  
Bugfix and improvement of network-setup scripts by Japanese Forum.
net-setup-20100310.pet from here.

  1. improved WEP wireless connection with wait which seems required for some hardwares.
  2. proper error messages when connection failed
  3. use one available connection even if multiple interfaces exist
  4. automatical setting in case eth0 and DHCP available
  5. allow manual disconnection and/or re-connection even when Wake-on-lan active.

PostPosted: Mon 28 Jun 2010, 03:45    Post subject: Recent woof problem
Subject description: It calls rc.basic instead of rc.network		  
The rc.sysinit of recent woof, maybe 100216 and later, has a problem in automatic setting with this net-setup.

It calls rc.basic instead of rc.network for the first run.
The /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit should be modified:

/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit at line 532- or so
Code:
  *)
  #this only sets up interface 'lo'...
  /etc/rc.d/rc.network_basic &
  ;;

rewrite to: (edited on 28 Jun 2010)
Code:
  *)
  #100628 shinobar: launch rc.network if eth0 is usable
  #this only sets up interface 'lo'...
  RCNETWORK=/etc/rc.d/rc.network_basic
  # eth0 usable?
  /sbin/ifconfig eth0 &>/dev/null && [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.network ] && RCNETWORK=/etc/rc.d/rc.network
  $RCNETWORK &
  ;;

Or, adding code for Pwireless2 (edited on 3 Jul 2010)
Code:
*)
  #3jul10 shinobar: launch rc.network/Pwireless2 if eth0 is usable
  #this only sets up interface 'lo'...
  RCNETWORK=/etc/rc.d/rc.network_basic
  # eth0 usable?
  if /sbin/ifconfig eth0 &>/dev/null ;then
    if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.network ]; then
      RCNETWORK=/etc/rc.d/rc.network
    elif [ -e /etc/init.d/Pwireless2 ]; then
      chmod 755 /etc/init.d/Pwireless2
    fi
  fi
  $RCNETWORK &
 ;;

EDIT:
as for calling rc.network or Pwireless2,
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit at line 493- or so
Code:
 *) #try determine which tool was used to setup networking...
  if [ -s /etc/simple_network_setup/connections ];then #100306
   NETCHOICE='sns'
  else
   CHECKOLDWIZ="`ls -1 /etc/*[0-9]mode 2>/dev/null`" #ex: eth0mode, wlan0mode.
   if [ "$CHECKOLDWIZ" != "" -a -d /usr/local/net_setup ];then
    NETCHOICE='net_wiz_classic'
   else
    CHECKNEWWIZ="`ls -1 /etc/network-wizard/network/interfaces 2>/dev/null`"
    if [ "$CHECKNEWWIZ" != "" ];then
     NETCHOICE='net-setup.sh'
    else
     [ -f /usr/local/Pwireless2/interface ] && NETCHOICE='Pwireless2' #100304
    fi
   fi
  fi
 ;;

So on the very first boot, it will default to running net-setup.sh.

I don't want that. SNS is my preferred choice.

The network_tray ion in the tray displays with a big red cross in it at first boot, and mouse-over pops up a message to click the 'connect' icon to make a connection to the Internet. Given that there are many different ways to connect to the Internet, I prefer this manual approach for now.
