I can’t finde the file /etc/network/interfaces in new version of Angstrom.
How can I configure static IP?

Angstrom now uses connman and no longer has the traditional /etc/interfaces configuration.

Hi Dennis,
if you want you can in any case bring back the classic script based networking service. Since the connman is intended to be used with GUI tools or relative API
the manual text based configuration is complicated 'cause you need to know every time the board mac address and so…

[before to do the following be sure to have access the the serial console]

  1. take the default init script /etc/init.d/networking

  2. create a systemd service to run it on boot

  3. create the famous /etc/network/interface file with the content you want to configure your net cards

  4. now I say it again [before to do the following be sure to have access the the serial console]

  5. stop the connmand service kill every remaining connman process

  6. than uninstall it: opkg remove connman* connman-*

  7. be sure that alsot the connmand.service is been removed

  8. try your networking.service

  9. try a reboot and check your ethX up :slight_smile:

bye
