I was so frustrated after days of playing with this I could not think straight. It seems though there is few rural people running Linux only with satellite NBN and I do not these days really have the patience I had in the past to grind through a configuration problem like this
Working (too slowly) toward a full-time tree change, I'm encouraged that the problem was manageable. (Though with a Telstra tower 1 km to the south, and an Optus tower about 900m north, I might not need that satellite stuff out there. Once I'm permanently out there will be soon enough to figure out whether the magic NBN brings any bandwidth & cost benefits over older wireless broadband.) And if ifconfig goes away, I'll probably have to learn about the newfangled "ip" alternative too. <sigh> Erik
