Hi i installed linux on my laptop and managed to get the centrino to work however i have to type "route add default gw 192.168.1.254"
everytime i start up to enable the wireless is there a way to get it icommand to be permanent(everytime i start up its there)? I've already enble the default gateway in yast to be the router address. help
If you are telling me sthing abt the /etc/rc'd folder pls tell me precisely what file to change and where to add it in the script
In most of the distro you can configure your default gateway in a file in /etc/sysconfig/network/ and the file name is eth0-ifup or something like that
When you'll find it, edit it and add (or modify) this line:
GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
