I'm facing a peculiar issue. When I boot using a LiveUSB eth0 is correctly detected, DHCP is enabled and the system connects to the network perfectly.
However, when I install to the hard drive, it doesn't work. eth0 is detected correctly, but somehow it never procures an IP from the DHCP server and therefore does not connect! I have tried using udhcpc, but it keeps saying "sending a discover" but never gets the IP. Checked on the DHCP servers logs, nothing there, it does not even register an attempt to procure an IP.
Any ideas what's going on? I tried both the stable as well as the cooking versions, same issue. I even tried the madbox cooking version out of desperation, still the same thing!
Back to cooking, as mentioned in my other post regarding Broadcom wireless, the stable version uses 2.6.30 kernel which does not support the chip I have, only 2.6.32 and above support it.
