Hi folks.

Just a short question: How do I make ifconfig settings permanent? I disabled the multicast of some of my interfaces but after a restart of the network everything seems like it was before.

I'm new to linux and don't understand it's mechanisms yet. (Oh, right, I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 if that matters)

Oh, well the info about your current distribution helps a lot.

Try:

man 5 interfaces
man 8 ifconfig

For WiFi and, or WLAN interfaces please do read the following:

man 8 iwconfig

FYI, you need to tweak your /etc/network/interfaces config file a bit.

Hope that helps,
Cheers,
