[SOLVED] What is the equivalent of Ubuntu's /etc/network/interfaces...

Hi all
I've on one of my machines a Sis900 Network Adapter, and with Ubuntu installed on that pc, i had to insert the line
hwaddress ether 00:00:00:00:00:01
in the file /etc/network/interfaces for allowing the system to see the eth0 in the ifconfig list, and so enabling the network too.
I'm now trying to install Arch on that PC (or better, on a pc with that motherboard where that adapter is mounted), and now I've got the same problem. I'm pretty sure i can fix that like I've done in Ubuntu, but i wonder where i can write that setting.. maybe in /etc/conf.d/bonding ? can you confirm this or give me an hint somehow? thanks in advance
edit
i managed to set the hwaddress with ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01 and now the network is operational. Now I'm looking for making this effective at every reboot...

Or if you want something more advanced;
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netcfg
i managed to set the hwaddress with ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01 and now the network is operational. Now I'm looking for making this effective at every reboot.
Put that in /etc/rc.local
Edit; you might try putting it at the end of /etc/rc.conf, since it is a script really (as well as a configuration file), and also since rc.local is executed *after* all the daemons are executed. I figure you have to have that command run before the "networking" daemon is run?

  • [SOLVED] What's the significance of 14871 (in /etc/shadow)?

    In the /etc/shadow shipped with the filesystem package, we have lines like this:
    systemd-resolve:x:14871::::::
    where the third field is always set to 14871, which is " the date of last password change, expressed as the number of days since Jan 1, 1970."
    $ date -d '1970-01-01 +14871 days' -u
    Sun Sep 19 00:00:00 UTC 2010
    ...so what's the significance of this day?

  • What does the 'SMART' flag signify for a network interface?

    When I run ifconfig on my Mac OSX (Yosemite) my Wi-Fi interface (for example) has these flags:
    en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    What does the 'SMART' flag refer to? I haven't been able to find this in any man pages.

    If you want information at that level of detail, you have to look at the source code for ifconfig:
    http://opensource.apple.com/source/network_cmds/network_cmds-457/ifconfig.tproj/ ifconfig.c
    which in turn refers to if.h:
    http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-792.13.8/bsd/net/if.h
    which shows that it refers to the "IFF_NOTRAILERS" bit. The comment reads, "obsolete: avoid use of trailers."

  • What is the equivalent selection in BI7? (Following BW 3.5 How to...Set up

    Hi,
    What is the equivalent selection in BI7? (Following BW 3.5 How to...Set up BW Statistics)
    I am trying to install BW statistics and all the good things that come with it for BI7. Following the instructions in a document that I was directed to on this site, in SBIW, I installed and replicated all the datasource in under “TCT” tree (Technical content)
    The instruction is for versions prior to BI7 and I had to make modifications as I go.
    Now, this instruction direct me to go to:
    rsa1, “Bi Content” (left) and then “InfoProviders by InfoAreas” and select all InfoProviders for the InfoAreas ”BW Statistics” and “BW Metadata” under the node “Technical Content”.
    1.
    In BI7, there is no ”BW Statistics” and “BW Metadata” infoareas under “Technical Content” if I follow the directions strictly.
    What is the equivalent of this in BI7?
    2.
    In the instructions, the author continues to collect these InfoAreas from under “Technical Content”:
    BW Data Slice
    BW Features characteristics
    BW Metadata
    BW Statistics
    In BI7, do we need exactly these? Or, now different? Should I just transfer all the infoareas under “Technical Content”? What is the disadvantage of collecting a ALL?
    Thanks

  • What is the equivalent function of this...

    the following codes are in awt form, what are the equivalent swt form of the following function? thank you for your help
    ActionListener listener = new MenuItemActionListener(panel);

    if you're planning on coming here getting the forum to re-write all your awt code in swt bit by bit, forget it. as far as I know, there's only 2 or 3 people who post here that know swt, and nobody's in the business of rewriting code on other people's behalf anyway. the swt documentation that comes with eclipse, plus the javadocs for swt, are more than good enough for you to manage this

  • [SOLVED] What is the best way to load iptables/nftables on boot?

    Hi -
    New arch user migrating from Ubuntu/debian.  I'm used to loading netfilter iptable rules using an /etc/network/interfaces file.  What is the best way to do this using netctl/systemd?
    An RTFM of the wiki and a Google search didn't provide an answer, but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.
    Last edited by pgoetz (2014-06-21 08:32:01)

    Ah, OK -- got it.  I can just blindly enable the iptables.service, and systemd will make sure the interfaces are up before running the service.  How cool.  I'm still getting used to the luxury of not having to worry about stuff like this myself.  The only minor issue is it looks like I'll have to get the systemd nftables service out of AUR.

  • What is the equivalent subtype of 'Text'?

    Hi experts,
    i have created one field using 'user defined field-management' menu with "type alphanumeric and structure text". now i want to create that field by code. so, i have selected oUserFieldsMD.Type = SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha but the option for subtype "text" is not coming in intellisense.
    so, what is the equivalent subtype for structure "text".
    Thanking
    Vishwajit Kumar

    It's actually a strange one - it's not a subtype in the DI for some reason, it appears as a main type under "Memo"
    oUserFieldsMD.Type = SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes.db_Memo
    That will get you what you require it will appear in B1 as type alphanumeric and subtype text! Like I said, it's a weird one

  • What is the Equivalent tool of CHDBPASS in NetWeaver 7

    I want to change the password of SYSTEM  and SYS in NetWeaver 7. What is the Equivalent tool of CHDBPASS in NetWeaver 7
    Edited by: Sebastian Sebaraj on Apr 3, 2008 3:34 PM

    Hai,
    For the SAP BASIS >= Release 6.10:
    Use the oradbusr.sql script. This script is attached to the note 50088. The script is valid for Oracle and Unix. Use the following syntax
               sqlplus /NOLOG @oradbusr. sql SCHEMAOWNER UNIX SAP_SID x
    The SCHEMAOWNER is either SAPR3 or has to start with SAP followed by the three digit schema id (example: SAPPRD).
    On Unix x is a dummy parameter and may e. g. be set to  X.
    To change the password for the SAPR3 or SAP<SID> user you have to use the following command:
               brconnect -u system/<syst_pwd> -f chpass -o SAPR3 -p <new_sap_pwd>
    or
               brconnect -u system/<syst_pwd> -f chpass -o sap< sid> -p <new_sap_pwd>
    Thanks and Regards,

  • What's the equivalent of Windows' Alt+F in OSX?

    Hi all,
    Noob questions... What's the equivalent of Alt+F (too choose the File menu) in OS X?
    -Al

    Hello again Al,
    Simple answer is:
    *Control+F2 then F-key*
    (or *control+F2 then FI* if there is another menu beginning with an F)
    Enable (keep it permanently enabled) Full Keyboard Access by hitting control+F1.
    Now you can use all control+F commands listed in
    System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts
    In your "alt+F" equivalent example, here's what you would do:
    Control+F2 then Arrow (left or right) then Arrow Down,
    and you can also type the first letter(s) of a command's name:
    Example in Safari, File menu:
    hit "P" to get "Page Setup"
    or
    hit "PR" to get "Print"
    Return key commands the action itself once you've reached it.

  • What is the equivalent Windows laptop?

    What's the best Windows laptop equivalent to the MBP 15.4"? My vote goes to the Thinkpad T60p.

    sigh
    He asked what's the equivalent. When people ask for the "equivalent", they mean comparable hardware at a similar price. Most techies (who are what Apple's trying to court right now) will want to see similar specs, maybe compare weights, size, etc. We don't really care about immeasurable things like "design" and relatively useless stuff like the "patent pending magnetic power connector" (I have never, ever tripped over my laptops' wires. Neither has my family. And over the course of the last 10 years I've owned 6 laptops).
    As for trying to compare, if you honestly don't know what you're talking about, please don't speak. Dual Athlons are not the equivalent of an Intel Core Duo. Dual Athlons are a lot faster and guzzle tremendous amounts of energy. If you want to make a valid comparison, look at the Inspiron 9300 with Core Duo and a similar video card.
    Please don't let the reality distortion field and marketingspeak affect what you say to others. This is a big year for Apple to court us geeks, and we really, REALLY don't like the reality distortion field and marketingspeak. Just give us specs and benchmarks. Thanks.

  • What is the difference between physical topology and network topology ,

    HI
    what is the difference between physical topology and network topology ,
    adil

    They are tightly linked. The network topology is only interested in the networking links between servers or other actors. A physical topology contains the servers as well as the networking components between them. You might use the term in a different
    manner which related to various site's physical attributes such as location but I doubt that's what the document you're working from means.
