[coLinux-users] Some observations

[Ming-Ching T. <min...@re...>]

This is my first post to this mail list.

Issue 1:
=====
I have this problem of unable to get bridged network working 
on colinux-6.4.0 and no matter what I do, I could not get it working. 
On the same computer, I later installed colinux-0.7.1-20070326,
it then works without any changes on the host system ( win2k ).

The 0.6.4 relevent portion of the xml is as follows :-

    <network index="0" type="tap" name="tap1" />
    <network index="1" type="bridged" Name="External"  />

I did try a few other options but they are all not working.

The 0.7.1 conf is as follows :-

       eth0=tuntap 
       eth1=pcap-bridge,External

This works as per my expectation, except that the documentation
is a bit obscure about the syntax. Wonder anyone could throw lights
on why it's not working on 0.6.4.

Issue 2
=====
I am using uclibc 0.9.28 and busybox 1.4.2. The problem I have is
that when I run busybox applet 'ifconfig' to turn on/off arp, I will hit
an error message at the second time :-

      # ifconfig eth1 arp on                 <--- no error
      # ifconfig eth1 arp on                <-- error message
  ifconfig: on: Unknown host

Is it a busybox problem or what ? But the same program is running
fine when I run it natively or inside qemu.

Cheers.
