2.2Host Networking Setup

These instructions assume there are two ethernet controllers and are using a private subnet of 192.168.0.0 for the Intel XScale® microarchitecture-Linux target. Normal disclaimers about security apply.

Launch the system-config-network utility on the Fedora host system and configure the secondary ethernet controller with an IP of 192.168.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

When providing full internet access to the Intel XScale® microarchitecture-Linux target, it is possible to configure the IA Linux host to act as a NAT router, connecting the 192.168.0.0 subnet to the primary network. Instructions to do this vary depending on the distribution. Please consult the appropriate vendor documentation for this.
