Interface won't hold an address
Does something overwrite interface settings on boot after network or rc.local are run?
In rc.local I have...
ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.1 &
ifconfig eth0 up &
ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.1 &But when I take a look at it (ifconfig eth0) it doesn't have the 192.168.2.1 address associated w/ it and I need to reissue the command before I can use eth0. I've also tried setting eth0="eth0 192.168.2.1" in rc.conf, but the interface still doesn't have/keep the address.

Re: Interface won't hold an address
If you are running Gnome it may be network-manager's fault. It's installed by default on Ubuntu's Gnome, I don't know about Arch (running e17). I guess the equivalent probably exists under Kde

Re: Interface won't hold an address
Good catch! It was wicd. For some reason it brings down/up eth0 even though it only connects via wlan0.
