[android-porting] How to build up the network on beagle board?

[Susan]

Hi All,
I'm curious for the network setting on porting android on
beagleboard. I do not use the NFS to boot the filesystem. I just put
the filesystem in ext3 partition, so can I build up the network? I
have modified the init.rc by adding the:

# basic network init
ifup lo
hostname localhost
domainname localdomain
setprop net.dns1 <primary-dns-server-ip> (I have set the
primary-dns-server-ip to my own dns server)

then I have set my bootargs:

setenv bootargs console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 noinitrd
ip=<ip>::<gateway>:<netmask> video=omapfb:mode:1280x720@50 init=/init
rootfstype=ext3 rw rootdelay=1 nohz=off

after that, the hyper terminal on Windows appeals:

eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
IP-Config: Complete:
device=eth0, addr=140.115.156.172, mask=255.255.255.0,

VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem).
Freeing init memory: 132K
Warning: unable to open an initial console.

init: cannot find '/system/bin/playmp3', disabling 'bootsound'
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
# warning: `rild' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)

I use the demo uImage and filesytem that released for beagleboard.
I also use the Davicom DM9601 USB Ethernet Adapter just like the demo.

Does anyone has the solution about this problem?

Thanks in advanced and regards.

Please set only dns1 ie.

#basic network init
setprop net.dns1 <primary-dns-server-ip>

Dont pass "ip=" argument.

Once android booting is done issue following commands from hyper terminal:-

$netcfg eth0 up
$netcfg eth0 dhcp
