Installed 9 RC1 on a laptop.
Started out attempting a wireless network adapater, however
not knowing all the values required to configure it, promptly
switch to a USB nic, to quickly gain network access.
The transition was less than seamless. After running drakconf
a few times and realigning files in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts:
ifup eth0
brings up the usb adapter, but it doesn't come up
automatically after boot.
Does this have something to do with
/etc/sysconfig/networking/default/ifcfg-* not being found?
the "default" directory didn't exist, and neither does a link
to network-scripts (which I'm guessing might belong there)
Althought I will probably have this working before too long,
I'd like to be able to report these bugs to you guys w/out
paying, and also recive a little assistance for my efforts.
I'm a bit of an old school linux buff. I'm familiar with
redhat and considering switching over to Mandrake for my
linux farm. I'm not willing to pay for support at this
juncture, however if I can be of assistance with your
efforts, I am willing to share my findings.
joebrown : 11/09 10:04 : More info provided
Creating the default directory under networking and dropping
a sym-link in there to the ifcfg-eth0 did the trick.
Suspecting either gui and text based drakconf may not have
created this directory and link.
Additional issues with the DM dumping core, hopeing that it
was due to lack of networking. Attacking that problem now...
