Just a note: the rcnetwork script won't have any effect on devices that uses dhcp. That could be the reason 'starting the network' doesn't do anything. rcdhclient start, however, should work, provided the pcmcia handler is started. If not, check /etc/rc.config and make sure that IFCONFIG_1 is set to "dhcpclient" Anders On Monday 27 August 2001 22.19, Anthony Moulen wrote:
Thanks,
I will give this a try. I don't think this is the problem though as trying to start the network through the SuSE tools while the system is already in run level 5 doesn't work. For some reason the tools do not detect this device and automatically kill that entry in the configuration. In other words, it would be one thing if the configuration was there and simply needed to be started, but the problem is that the configuration isn't even there. But maybe I missed something. I will move around the configuration files and see what happens. This was the problem on RedHat way back when, and something I totally forgot to consider.
