Re: changing IP address on mipsel-linux

["Ratin" <mrahman@sypixx.com>]

I meant changing the IP address of the device running mipsel-linux 
statically (not DHCP) on the fly (I am using http interface and a C handler 
function to do so) and then keeping it for the rest of its lifetime, so have 
to run system ( ifconfig ) or similar API call for immediate change and 
perhaps write the new IP to a file somewhere, which I am yet to discover.
