 |
|
Hi, I've noticed I don't have internet access from the start of boot. I have to su, and then do
For it to work, every time, after starting X or whatever.
Is there any way this could be done automatically on boot?
Thanks

usually it should, if your /etc/conf.d/net is configured correctly and the driver for your NIC is autoloaded at startup (if it is built modular).
What does your /etc/conf.d/net look like?
Do you get any error messages at bootup?

Is net.eth0 in your default runlevel?
Check by doing this:

I think it's the /etc/conf.d/net file...shouldn't it be iface_eth0="dhcp"? |

You didn't configure your conf.d/net as nephros suggested. Make these changes
current:
| Code: | iface_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
#iface_eth1="207.170.82.202 broadcast 207.0.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0"
# For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?
#
#iface_eth0="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_eth0="..." |
changes:
| Code: | #iface_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
#iface_eth1="207.170.82.202 broadcast 207.0.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0"
# For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?
#
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 3" |
You can read more about this int he gentoo handbook in section '8.b. Networking Information'. I think things may have changed a bit with the new baselayout, but the above way will still work.
Note: -t 3 sets only a three second timeout for dhcp. |

First off this looks like an older version of this config file.
Make sure you have the latest version of baselyout, and have a look at /etc/conf.d/net.example first. (I am running ~x86 though, it could be that the new config version hasn't made it into stable yet. In that case, forget it.  )
Anyway, with your current settup eth0 is given a fixed IP of 192.168.0.2 and dhcp is never used.
You could try the following:
| Code: |
iface_eth0="dhcp"
alias_eth0="192.168.0.2"
|
This will create two virtual networking devices, eth0 with the dhcp address, and eth0:1 with 192.168.0.2.
If you don't have a LAN connected to eth0 though you can leave out the alias.
HTH.
