slackware network

vai · 12-21-2011, 10:09 AM

Hi,
I've installed slackware 13.37 and i can't connect to a wired network.
I have already install wicd from the dvd folder but when i try to connect("after obttaining the ip adress") it disconnects...
My pc is a toshiba r630.
thank you

To copnnect to a wired network by hand, you don't need wicd.

Modprobe <your-module> for the nic if it doesn't show in lspci, & try
dhcpcd eth0

If that doesn't sort it, let's have details of what you have, and what you want to connect to.

I don't know how to do this "Modprobe <your-module> for the nic if it doesn't show in lspci". Can you tell me what to do?
this is what happen when i run the command dhcpcd eth0:

bash-4.1# dhcpcd eth0
dhcpcd[3771]: version 5.2.11 starting
dhcpcd[3771]: eth0: rebinding lease of 192.168.1.102
dhcpcd[3771]: eth0: acknowledged 192.168.1.102 from 192.168.1.1
dhcpcd[3771]: eth0: checking for 192.168.1.102
dhcpcd[3771]: eth0: leased 192.168.1.102 for 86400 seconds
dhcpcd: eth0: MTU set to 1492
dhcpcd[3771]: forked to background, child pid 3804

What's the problem? That's not disconnecting, it's moving to the background after a successful address allocation.

What does?

try editing /etc/rc.d/inet1.conf as root

where it says USE_DHCP[0]="" for eth0/eth1/eth2/eth3 put a yes inside the apostrophes for all those then save it and reboot

still not working...
Any ideas?
Can this be related to the x64 version?

mrclisdue · 12-22-2011, 07:10 AM

There's no logical reason related to x64....

The results of dhcpcd eth0 indicate that you're obtaining a lease. I'm assuming you get disconnected shortly afterwards.

Does # dmesg tell us anything?

dmesg in the txt

Have a look at this thread:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...igabit-866260/

It's possible, judging from the output from dmesg, that you have a similar issue on the router end, as opposed to dhcpcd itself.

Before jumping through more hoops and editing files, perhaps you can see if the lease holds using dhclient?

cheers,

Thank You!

in /etc/dhcpcd.conf
find "nohook lookup-hostname"
modified to "nohook hostname"
problem solved.
