Unable to connect to internet

vasanthmachado · 04-13-2014, 08:32 PM

I have a ASUS mini laptop that I didn't use for more than a year. Now when I start, I am unable to connect to internet. This does not have a hard drive. The error is "wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801" and "DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255 port 67 interval 6"

Welcome to LQ!
Will you please provide us with some information about your system. What Linux distro are you using? You do not have a hard drive installed ??? Please post the hardware specifications also. Once we have more information we will do our best to help you.
