N900 and Archlinux network setup

djszapi · 2011-03-06 15:24:23

Hi,

I do not find any instructions how to do the network setup in this case.

You can find examples how other distributions do, but there is no description for Archlinux:
http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Tips_and … Networking

Can anybody amend it or tell me what to do and I can solve it and update the wikipage please ? (Udev rules part is the same I guess, I think I can add some part of it in the /etc/rc.conf file, but no idea about iptable etc)

Thank you in advance!

You've been using Arch for how long? Someone with 1000+ posts should not:-
a) still be posting in Newbie Corner
b) know so little about Arch in general as to not be able to AT LEAST attempt to follow the instructions in that page
c) post a thread with the line 'tell me what to do'

What is wrong about this netcfg settings ? I try to run one command when I connect to the host PC (Archlinux) with my phone. If I run the POST_UP command manually, it works just fine.

Edit: Actually I have tried with /etc/network.d/interfaces/usb0 POST_UP/DOWN scripts according to the wiki page after reading it once again, but same result

Run netcfg in debug mode and see what it tells you. POST_UP works fine here, and I think what you're looking for is PRE_DOWN....
