[HECnet] Alpha emulation?

Thanks Marc - I ran into some strange problems with my Alpha CD. I just "dd"ed mine to an ISO file. No problems there. If you have some ftp site that I can upload it to, I can send you my .iso later tonight. One thing that I did that may be useful is that I preconfigured my eth1 interface with the expected (computed) hardware address for my DECnet ... I didn't do that, although I did do 'ifconfig eth1' on the Linux host while the Charon/OVMS emulation was running. eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr aa:00:04:00:11:08 inet6 addr: fe80::a800:4ff:fe00:1108/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9870 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:751 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:602103 (602.1 KB) TX bytes:66583 (66.5 KB) Interrupt:18 Base address:0x5000 If my math is right, aa:00:04:00:11:08 works out to 2.17 (and that's the right address). # The trailing zone network interface auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 hw ether aa:00:04:00:d5:08 I'll give that a try next. Question - is "auto eth1" the right thing to do? That makes the interface start up when the boot does an "ifup -a", right? I didn't do that (I figured Charon would start it when it got around to it).
