Hi All,
I installed 13.2 today on my laptop while the same wired network was plugged in that I use every day. The network wasn't properly detected, or at least it wasn't properly configured during installation, because adding the online repositories and downloading updates failed.
After booting the installed system, it still does not work properly. I can connect to the router (192.168.1.1) but not to the Internet.
What show netstat -rn cat /etc/resolv.conf
The same holds true for the wireless connection if I enable it. The router passphrase prompt appears but the system can't connect to the Internet after I enter it.
Ditto.
For the record, this system has had Vista64, openSUSE 12.3 and Mint 17 installed in parallel up to today and this network connection in all three cases has always 'just worked.' This leads me to believe that the problem is unique to the 13.2 installer.
I have no problem connecting to Internet using 13.2 (of course as long as provider functions correctly :p ) or installing it from Internet using NET image using wired interface. So whatever problem there is it does not look like universal one.
I realize I could probably go 'tinkering under the hood' to make it work, but I'd prefer that the system stays 'stock' as much as possible and to make it work using either the regular installation or desktop tools if I can. Towards that end, does anyone know of a way to access the network detection and configuration routines during installation to see what's going on and influence it?
All ideas and advice will be gratefully appreciated.
TIA & regards,
Carl
