Ethernet Expansion Config

Mason McElroy

Can anyone point me in the right direction on configuring the Ethernet expansion?

Thanks

Did you try udhcpc -i eth0 ?

I don't have the expansion, but the device is showing up, so I assume you just need to plug it in for it to work.
For network config in general look at the config file /etc/config/network

Hi @Mason-McElroy, you don't need to configure the Ethernet Expansion. You just need to edit the /etc/config/network to enable it. Can you paste the content of /etc/config/network here? We can teach you how to edit it.

Hi @Boken-Lin ... I was wondering the same about the ethernet expansion. Here are the contents of /etc/config/network:

config interface 'loopback'
option ifname 'lo'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
option netmask '255.0.0.0'

#config globals 'globals'
#   option ula_prefix 'fd28:1f13:5b38::/48'

#config interface 'lan'
#   option ifname 'eth0'
#   option type 'bridge'
#  option proto 'static'
#   option ipaddr '192.168.3.1'
#   option netmask '255.255.255.0'
#   option ip6assign '60'

#config interface 'wan'
#   option ifname 'eth0'
#   option proto 'dhcp'

#config interface 'wan6'
#   option ifname '@wan'
#   option proto 'dhcpv6'

 #config switch
 #   option name 'switch0'
 #   option reset '1'
 #   option enable_vlan '1'

#   config switch_vlan
#   option device 'switch0'
#   option vlan '1'
#   option ports '0 1 3'

    config interface 'wwan'
    option proto 'dhcp'
    option hostname 'OnionOmega'

    config interface 'wlan'
    option proto 'static'
    option ipaddr '192.168.3.1'
    option netmask '255.255.255.0'


 #config interface 'wlan'
 #   option ifname 'wlan0-1 wlan0'
 #   option type 'bridge'
 #   option proto 'static'

 #   option ipaddr '192.168.3.1'
 #   option netmask '255.255.255.0'
 #   option ip6assign '60'

@Nayan You simply need to uncomment the following lines:

#config interface 'lan'
#   option ifname 'eth0'
#   option type 'bridge'
#  option proto 'static'
#   option ipaddr '192.168.3.1'
#   option netmask '255.255.255.0'
#   option ip6assign '60'

then you need to restart the network service with the following command:

/etc/init.d/network restart

Thanks @Boken-Lin ... Also looking forward to your tutorial on using the Omega as a router/extender

Boken Lin

@Nayan Yup, that's almost done. Just need a little bit more time before we post it on the Wiki.

@Boken-Lin
Thanks. I looked at the network config before, but somehow I completely missed that commented out section....
