Hi, what about a little review of the etc/network/interface file?
something to fit the freerunner, something like

-----------------------
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
 
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# Wireless interfaces
iface eth0 inet dhcp
	wireless_mode managed
	wireless_essid any

# Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
# ... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
allow-hotplug usb0
iface usb0 inet static
	address 192.168.0.202
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	network 192.168.0.0
	gateway 192.168.0.200
	up echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 > /etc/resolv.conf
	up echo nameserver 208.67.220.220 >> /etc/resolv.conf

# Bluetooth networking
iface bnep0 inet dhcp
------------------------------- EOF

But the main thing, and this should be corrected i think is the default
configuration of the DNS, default lines are:
up echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 >> /etc/resolv.conf
up echo nameserver 208.67.220.220 >> /etc/resolv.conf
so, everytime i powerup my FR it will add 2 lines in the file
resolv.conf.... just imagine if i don't correct this and i don't flash
too often how big resolv.conf should be.
May be a little correction like
up echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 > /etc/resolv.conf
up echo nameserver 208.67.220.220 >> /etc/resolv.conf
can do the trick :D

Bye!

Pietro
