[Server-devel] Networking on Version 0.5 .

hello .


ive been having problem with version 0.5 in the sense that

1. eth0 - main interface for WAN works fine as in it picks up the ip-address
from the isp/dhcp
2.eth1- the LAN interface does not seem to function at all as a dhcp server
. ive looked at the networking scripts for 0.5 and to my understanding
          a) upon installations /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/network_config
          b) output of the network_config files is
/etc/sysconfig/xs_network_config
          c) on running domain_config script .. output file is
xs_domain_name
Now for the interfaces all configuration is kept in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
i stand corrected if im wrong .
These configurations include
                ifcfg-eth0 - ethernet0 (WAN)
                ifcfg-eth1-ethernet1(LAN)
 however ifcfg-eth1 is a bonded interface according to its config file
ifcfg-eth1 its ip address is determined by line 9 " $XS_LANBOND0_IPADDR "i
understand that  simply put .. ip address is obtained from lanbond0 config
file
Therefore going to lanbond0 config .. the ip assigned by default is a static
ip - 172.18.96.1 <http://172.18.96.0>
.
Going back to the root cause which is why dhcp doesnt work , i dont
understand the relationship between lanbond0 to route-lanbond0 and from
route-lanbond0 to dhcpd-xs.conf and how these determine eth1 which on
version 0.4 always had a static ip of 172.18.0.1 and didnt give alot of
issues .

any help would be appreciated
