Android ethernet on boot

Hi,

I'd like the eth0 interface to launch automatically on boot in dhcp mode

but currently it doesn't, even though <netcfg> is telling me it is up...

I need to activate/deactivate wifi so that eth0 really trigger a DHCP request which is really not convenient for our standalone apllications!!!

thx,
Mathieu

I want to add a new line in init.rc
service ethernet /eth0.sh

but the all filesystem is read only, how can I change it to read/write without any fs corruption?

You have to root your firmware.
Use towelroot.
Then in ES File Explorer enable read/write support for /system folder

since init.rc is located in the boot.img, you will have to unpack it on your PC and add it then repack and flash the boot.img from your PC with the flash tool.
The file will get replaced by the default one on every boot even if you change it on your device, that's why you have to edit it from a PC and reflash.
