2.2 Host 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.
