Ethernet problems (HDVR2)

[ice5]

Hey all.

So I have an HDVR2. It's hacked using Sleeper's ISO (monte'd) with 3.1.1b (I think)

Anyway, I'm trying to use the Linksys 100TX adapter. It's worked before with this TiVo and the pegasus drivers.

Anyway, I cannot seem to get telnet or FTP to work over ethernet. I can get serial bash no problems.

If I type "ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.200 broadcast 192.168.2.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" at the prompt I get errors saying things like "invalide device eth0" etc.

I've attached my rc.sysinit and rc.sysinit.author I added the .txt extension just to upload them.

Any thoughts?

To follow up...

Output of "ifconfig"

tivo:/var/tmp$ ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0


I then typed "ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.200" just for fun.

Now I can ftp, telnet, etc. over ethernet.

But I have that line already in my rc.sysinit.author so why do I have to put it in via bash again?

if your rc.sysinit.author is not chmod'd properly, that would be a good reason.

True, and I'm currently transferring something via tytools so I can't check, BUT tnlited, mfs_ftp, etc. all load from the rc.sysinit.author

Basically everything loads properly, EXCEPT the ifconfig line.
