Dear yunhaid,

Unfortunately I have no answer for you but if you don't mind could
you give me the answer to my
question ( I think you're able to give me an answer since you're
developing the eth driver)
Which is the process that start the ethernet driver ?

the lance driver was processed as a service by the minix system
command named service. you can run the "man service"
in the shell to see how to use it. if everybody know my question,
please email the answer to to me, thanks ahead again.

Thank you, if you don't mind
could you tell me in which file there is the line code
to start the eth driver up.
in other word who invokes (after the boot) the service command with
the line
code like:
service up /sbin/lance

thank you again and excuse me if I 'm boring you.

The network driver is started in the sequence of commands in
/usr/etc/rc as configured in /etc/inet.conf

Thank you very much Giovanni,
I think of having found the lines of interest.
so if I'm not mistaken, Init looks up in the rc file and
invokes the service function, right ?

Yes. init runs /etc/rc wich in turn runs /usr/etc/rc.
