Hi all,
I installed grml i386 via grml2hd onto my laptop that ran with grml 0.9 before. It is a IBM ThinkPad T23.
After booting from harddisk, I used grml-network to set up a static IP address for the on-board eth card. Now I can access the laptop via ssh, everything works fine.
Several hours later, my ssh connection is down, the laptop does not respond to pings. I use the console and - much to my astonishment - the static IP address was exchanged with an address from the DHCP range of my router! I used grml-network again to enter the static IP address - and next morning, it again was away and a dynamic IP address was used!
Well, since that first surprise this happens all few hours. I always chose "enable at boot" at the last prompt.
What can I do do have my system remember the static IP address assigned via grml-network instead of looking for a DHCP address?
Regards, Werner

edit /etc/grml/autoconfig and set CONFIG_DHCP='no' This must help. My opinoin is that this option have to be set by grml-network. But Mika knows better.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I will set CONFIG_DHCP to 'no' in /etc/grml/autoconfig as soon as you answer the question "Interface enabled, do you want it auto enabled at boot?" from grml-network/netcardconfig with "yes".
I've added it to our BTS: http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue225 and will write the according code soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

JFYI: Implemented in grml-network version 0.1.12 which has been uploaded to grml-testing pool. If there aren't any bugreports within the next few days I'll push it to grml-stable as well.

Dimitar,
thank you, this helped! The laptop is running for 16 hours now and still has the static IP. I never thought that grml-network would *not* set the variable accordingly 8-)
