mii-tool -F 10baseT-HD Where can I put this line?

Every time I log on the net I have to type in mii-tool -F 10baseT-HD then pon.

Where can I put this line so it happens automatically when I boot?

Be root.
Create /etc/init.d/net_login. Insert your commands.

Code:

mii-tool -F 10baseT-HD
pon

From a console:

Code:

chmod ug+x /etc/init.d/net_login
cd /etc/rc5.d
ln -s ../init.d/net_login S33net_login

... and be lucky!

Noticed message during boot

"Configuring network interfaces:/etc/network/interfaces:14

ption with empty value."

Is this significant?

Rename S33net_login to S99net_login to force starting the script at least.

If it is´nt successfull:
Create a link to /etc/init.d/net_login at your desktop
(right mouse click on th desktop, "New - Link to program" [strings could be wrong because I know only the german version])
to start the script by one mouse click.

You can copy this link to ~/.kde/autostart for automatic execution.

I hope, this helps a little bit.

How can my normal users get the permission to get on the net and also to use mii-tool as stated previously?

If you set mii-tool and pon suid then users should be able to use them, NOTE with suid set anyone should be able to use them, as in possible security risk! A lot of people don't like running stuff suid.

ex:

chmod +s /sbin/mii-tool

and

chmod +s /usr/bin/pon
