Most likely the issue is that you left out the driver for your network card. If you do have the driver (in kernel or as a module) it should be auto-loaded. It should be somewhere under Drivers -> Net. > > In /etc/sysconfig/network, networking is 'yes. Similarly, in > > /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ I have four files-dhcpcd, dhclient, > > pppoe, ipv4.

No. Although, you will get conflicts if you try to run both dhcp clients, you're problem right now is that you're just not getting a device set up. Only the kernel and udev can control that. > i want to say that dhcpcd and dhclient are mutually exclusive. > but i do not know for sure. > you might want to disable startup of one > or the other and see what happens. You would definitely want to disable one or the other. They're both daemons that will run constantly and try to set IP addresses, gateway, etc. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
