 |
|
Hello,
I have been working on putting linux on my laptop. I want to be able to start networking from prompt. I followed the installation instructions and it worked on the first install when it was starting up and it works from the livecd in the chroot-ed environment (after running net-setup). So then I ran a "rc-update del net.eth0 default" and restarted my comp. I did some research and thought that /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start would do the trick to start it from a prompt. But when i do that I get some errors

PCMCIA support detected
Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[3970]: no sockets found
cardmgr failed to start make sure you have PCMCIA
modules built or support compiled into the kernel

Now this is fine, in the sense that this is a new install I am working through and haven't done anything with the PCMCIA slot yet. But this is very confusing when i am trying to do something COMPLETELY different. I was searching on this on linuxquestions.com and some of the slackware users mentioned something about a netconfig but that didn't do much for me.
Do I have the right command in /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start?? Did rc-update del net.eth0 default screw something up??
help a noob,

"/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start" is the right command to manually start.
The text you've quoted look like informational messages, not errors.
You can safely ignore them if you are having no other problems (i.e. your network is working).
