The script try to connect to the Access Point that have the better signal using iwlist, iwconfig and dhclient. If dhclient return 0 it executes ip route to obtain the server IP and it download a few files. This script must to run before user takes control of the OS. My idea is add the script at initrd but later. cheers <div class="gmail_quote">2010/8/9 James Cameron <<a href="mailto:quozl@laptop.org">quozl@laptop.org</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">On Mon, Aug 09, 2010 at 04:33:08PM -0300, Esteban Bordon wrote: > I have a script that execute ip route to get the default gateway. </div>I've a fundamental problem with this ... a default gateway is set as a result of bringing up a connection, and there is no default gateway in the absence of a connection. There is no connection during boot because the user has not yet chosen an access point ... the choice is stored in Sugar. Could you explain why you would need to do it during boot when no connection is available? As Jon says, it is better to run it at the time a connection is completed, since that is the first time a default gateway is set. -- James Cameron <a href="http://quozl.linux.org.au/" target="_blank">http://quozl.linux.org.au/</a> </blockquote></div>
