Set Ethernet ports to 5 port hub at 192.168.0.2

(I want to add a webcam and a WiFi access point to the Sweex)

Versions of the file structure on my USB memory stick before 13 July
used ethernet port 3 only.


I have now made all 5 ethernet ports work as a hub with a single IP address of 192.168.0.2

First off - delete this file that forces the use of ethernet port 3 only

etc/init.d/S47ifconfig

----------------------

#!/bin/sh
for i in `ifconfig -a|grep 'eth[0-9] '|cut -c4`; do
ifconfig eth${i} down
done
ifconfig eth3 address 192.168.0.2
ifconfig
======================================================
Now we have classic Midge - so -

In this file make mods shown

etc/network/interfaces

-----------------------

# Configure Loopback
#
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2 <--- this is my Sweex IP on the LAN
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.230 <-- this is my ADSL modem IP on the LAN
auto eth1 below here seems to be ignored
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth3
iface eth3 inet static
address 192.168.3.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth4
iface eth4 inet static
address 192.168.4.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
======================================================

BUT ALSO change this file as below
VLAN_MX="0x5F,0,0,0,0,0" # 1 ethernet iface (5LAN)
is the active line now

# the other VLAN_MX lines to make them inactive
