Used wired to install now on wireless but system waits for wired dhcpoffer.
Knowing I would have issues with wireless adapter in my laptop I chose to boot live Debian Squeeze with my ethernet cable plugged in.
All was well so I did an install. Now that it is installed I added missing drivers for wireless card and have joined my wireless network at the house. I removed the ethernet cable and restarted the computer. Now during the startup I have a long wait because it is looking for the DHCP server on the ethernet port. So... How do I stop Debian Squeeze from looking for a DHCP server on a ethernet port that is no longer connected? Thanks |
I was looking up for a similar thread in here and found :

I take it you aren't using a network manager program?
If you look in the file /etc/network/interfaces you'll find the configuration for the network connection. Edit/comment out the ethernet connection. Or if you are using a network manager, you need to edit that file so it only reads Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system |
