1. If you compiled your kernel with kerneld, the module will be loaded auto-magically. If not, add it to the list of modules to be loaded on boot with 'modconf'. 2. Add the ifconfig command for eth1 at the end of /etc/init.d/network. 3. If you're running kernel 2.2.x, skip the 'route add', the kernel does the routing on its own. If not, append the route statement to /etc/init.d/network after the ifconfig for that interface. 4. Create a, let's say, 'ipmasq' script in /etc/init.d/ with all your masquerading rules and insert it into the boot sequence (man update-rc.d will tell you how). I run potato but I suppose this should work w/ Slink too. If not, please adapt it. -- D.Damian
