Button pressed - default IP-Addr

Georg Ottinger

When the device is powered up with the button pressed - than the IP-Addr defaults to 192.168.0.123 - this is implemented by adjusting the /etc/netstart script and using the cpm tool to check whether the button is pressed. Please note that the cpm tool returns 0 when the button is pressed and it returns 1 when it is released

Here is a snipplet form the netstart script:

# Initialize the IP to an empty string
IPADDR=""

# Check if Button is pressed at startup
# if button is pressed than default IP to 192.168.0.123

button="$(/bin/cpm -N BUTTON)"

if [ $button -eq 1 ] ; then 
    echo "Using fixed IP 192.168.0.123"
    /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.123 up
else    
    # Standard Network Startup
    # Do we have a network configuration file?
