PS3 Linux - 1.1 Setting the network
Setting up
-
The Yellow Dog Linux distro is now also capable of using the wireless network capabilities of the PS3. This is, thankfully, also fully intergrated in the graphical system that we'll be using here
First start the system into graphical mode (whatever way you want, see the previous article for details). Login as root (you can login as a user and change the network settings, if that user has the proper rights, however at this point in the guide you have not created one yet ;)) and let the system boot. You'll be taken into the enlightenment desktop.
Screenshots that I've made are from the GNOME desktop system, personally I prefered it over the Englightenment desktop but it should work in roughly the same way. Also, if you are using a small screen (480i/p) items on the desktop will probably nearly always be too big. To move things around you can press alt+left_mouse_button.
In GNOME (this is similar in the Enlightenment, default, desktop system) you select "Administration --> Network". Also, you want to plug in the network cable, or properly setup the wireless network for the PS3 now (or have done this earlier).
From here you can see the "eth0" device. Select it and select edit (either via pull-down or via a button). The menu you are shown now is the one shown on the right of the two screens. Here you can set your network settings (similar as in Windows). This menu is both for the wireless options (far right tab) AND wired options (far left tab).
After you have set your network options close the settings menu (make sure settings are saved and if possible for all users). The activate the eth0 device (should be possible via pull-down menu's or via a button). To test if your network works you can either try stating an internet browser or by doing a "ping" to for example google.
