NV+ v2 promisc mode - not liking /etc/network/interfaces?
Hi all!
I'm messing with getting OpenVPN running on a stock ReadyNAS NV+ v2 and I'm getting stumped at trying to set the network interface into promiscuous mode (so I can run the VPN in bridged mode). Here's my /etc/network/interfaces (which should work - I've got virtually an identical one - but with different IP addresses - on another Debian-based box running OpenVPN that works):
When the ReadyNAS boots up, it ignores this and sets up at 192.168.168.168 (I can say I'm thankful that at least it has a default setting when it doesn't like the config, rather than ending up completely inaccessible!).
Anyone got any ideas?
For reference, here's the original /etc/network/interfaces file.

- Its possible netgear blocked their nic driver from operating in promisc mode and you're beating your head against the wall :)
- What he said. The kernel probably doesn't have promisc support enabled.
