Getting dhcp to start automatically for HoneyComb

[Verachten Bruno]

Hi,

I built the "vm" target for honeycomb-x86 (added some kernel modules) as I want to use it under VirtualBox

It works well, but I still have a problem with the network.
When the device is up and running, the eth0 is down. I can put it up by launching /system/bin/dhcpd. I then have an IP address given by the local DHCP server.

I modified ./build/target/board/generic_x86/init.rc in order to make android launch the dhcp command by itself:
[...]
service logcat /system/bin/logcat -v time -f /data/log.txt
    disabled
    oneshot

service dhcpd /system/bin/dhcpd
[...]

It doesn't work; it looks like the command is not called.
By the way, when I look at the /init.rc, it ends with
[...]
#REMOVE FROM HERE

service dhcpcd_eth0 /system/bin/dhcpcd -o domain_name_servers -ABKL
    class main
    disabled
    oneshot

service iprenew_eth0 /system/bin/dhcpcd -o domain_name_servers -n
    class main
    disabled
    oneshot



Maybe should I try to find and modify the file that generates this part (and remove disabled)?

Any idea?

Thanks,
Bruno Verachten

The honeycomb-x86 tree is very old and not maintained.
Why do you want to use it?

The Ethernet DHCP support is fine since ics-x86.
You don't need to change anything.

So try to get the latest code (kitkat-x86), please.

Hi,

I need to get working VM from froyo to Kitkat.
That's why I bother you with honeycomb.
I have ics, jb and kitkat working.
Thanks.

Thanks, but I'm not looking for an ISO file, but for a workaround in order to build my own iso.

Kind regards.
