RE: chmod on vfat

[Ciaron Gogarty <cgogarty lancomms ie>]

Hello Redhat Guru's,

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to enable the passing of
flags to the ethernet driver @ startup.

Basically I want to script an interface to come up in promiscuous mode thru
a reboot.

thanks in advance,

Ciaron
