Re: [Gumstix-users] ethernet not working with new boot image

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Thanks.  I have a few followup questions:

1. How do I fix the problem?  Do I need to do a new buildroot? If so, 
what do I need to set in the config to get the right shell? (btw, 
/bin/sh is linked to busybox.  Is busybox dash based?) I tried fixing 
the problem by rm'ing /bin/sh and soft linking /bin/sh to /bin/ash, but 
that didn't work.  Of course - now that I look - ash just links to 
busybox too.

2. How did the problem happen? in the first place? Is it something set 
in the buildroot by default? I followed the buildroot instructions on 
the website - I first ran make defconfig, then make, then make 
menuconfig to select the 2 packages I wanted to add.

Thanks,

Paul
