Is there a simple way to make eth0 keep its (manual) IP address even if network is physically disconnected?<br><br>I'm using Kubuntu 8.10, this time is on eee box but we had similar problems with other computers. I need one port to keep its configuration even if the cable is physically disconnected or, actually network camera on the other end of the network cable (nothing else there, no switches - just PC and the camera) being reboot. Currently, if I activate manual connection with the eth0 set to <a href="http://192.168.0.15/24">192.168.0.15/24</a> (camera has 192.168.0.9) it works, but as soon as I reboot the camera eth0 looses IP and does not restore it back. In some operation modes (low-level reflash) camera does not have any IP at all (special packets are used) but we still need the eth0 to stay configured.<br>
<br>On the other ports I would like to use regular (nice) functionality of the knetworkmanager. Is that possible?<br><br>Andrey Filippov<br><br>Elphel, Inc.<br><br><br>
