Issue with eth0 connection after using wireless
  • roobinatuberoobinatube July 2010
    Hi,

    Ive been using wireless since i installed slitaz 3, using rt2870sta and firmware.

    But now when I take my laptop to work, and plug it into a socket (no wireless at work) it doesnt work. When I use my dual boot lubuntu it does work. Slitaz is my preference, so if someone could hint me in the right direction that would be great!

    Thanks
    Roo

    Try
    sudo /etc/init.d/network.sh restart

    What 'doesn't work'? Can you connect manually (ifconfig & route)? Do you appear on the network when connected?

    FWIW I like using Wicd as it has 'profiles' to set IPs etc. when I'm at home, uni, etc. and can connect on start-up. If you dual-boot with Ubu, you might like it as it could share your settings (stored ~/.wicd).

    If devl547's command above doesn't work try it after this edit.
    root@slitaz:nano /etc/network.conf


    # Set default interface.
    INTERFACE="wlan0"
    change to
    INTERFACE="eth0"

    then this if necessary:
    # Wifi connection.
    # Enable/disable wireless connection at boot time.
    WIFI="yes"
    change to
    WIFI="no"

    To avoid editing the network.conf make one for wired,another wireless.
    See tutorial here:

    thanks for the advice... that didnt work.

    When i installed wicd it wouldnt open... when i look at the error it says:
    "Setting hostname...[ OK ]

    Configuring loopback...[ OK ]

    ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

    Starting udhcpc client on: eth0...

    udhcpc: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device"

    Thanks

    root@slitaz: ifconfig

    Do you see eth0 listed ?
    No:
    Boot into Lubuntu
    Open terminal 
    sudo lshw -C network

    Paste all information output on the ethernet adapter in your reply if you need more help.
    This provides driver= module.name 
    modinfo module.name

    Save this info to file.
    Boot into slitaz 
    root@slitaz: lsmod

    Is the module.name loaded ?
    No:
    root@slitaz: modprobe module.name

    root@slitaz: ifconfig

    Do you see eth0 ?
    No:
    modinfo module.name

    Compare against Lubuntu post difference if any.
