There is no graphical network-configuration tool for AtheOS yet so you
will have to manually edit the startup script to configure the network
interface.

The network interface is configure by the second startup script
"/system/user_init.sh". The commands for configuring the network
is already in there but you might have to edit the various IP
addresses and the netmask to fit your local network.

The interresting lines look something like this:

>#Configure the network (IP address, netmask and gateway)
>ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

Replace 192.168.1.2 to the IP address of the machine and the
255.255.255.0 to the netmask used on your network (the default is
normaly ok).

>#Add gateway route
>route add 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 -g 192.168.1.1 -i eth0

Replace 192.168.1.1 with the address of your gateway, or remove the
line entirely if you don't have a gateway (you must have an gateway to
get AtheOS on the internet).


In addition you might want to configure the DNS by editing
/etc/resolve.conf and change the machine's host name by editing
/etc/hostname.
