Problem: I need to be able to assign a static address to my network card.
Last night I encountered a problem with network settings in grml. Initially, I thought that I had to edit /etc/networking/interfaces to set my network properties, but that did not work. After doing some research on Google, I found a post from someone asking a similar question, and he was told too look at grml-tips udev, so I looked at that. I see that I am supposed to create a udev rule in /etc/udev/network.rules, but it doesn't tell me how to go about setting static, dhcp, etc. Where am I going wrong?
You've CONFIG_DHCP='no' in /etc/grml/autoconfig, right? For network configuration: either use grml-network/netcardconfig or just go the Debian way of life, take a look at /etc/network/interfaces.examples to get an idea.
