Allcorn <rallcorn@uucpnet.org> 2011-05-20 20:17:56 UTC --- You're not going to believe this part! I went down to FRY ELECTRONICS and purchased a USB CD-ROM drive. Up to now I've had to use a thumbdrive memory stick to install the OS on a Netbook. Now, I plugged the USB CD-ROM drive in and booted up on the NETWORK INSTALL CD. I re-installed the complete system OFF OF THE NETWORK using a LAN cable plugged into the LAN port (eth0) ! You heard me right, it installed "OFF OF THE NETWORK" to the notebook!! Now, here's the kicker ... once it had finished and rebooted up, and successfully even reached the "NTP" time sync (during install), the network does not work!! Same problem as with the past ... "Nuthin" There's something with the latest NETWORK installs that is causing this problem, I'm guessing ... Here's some facts: Drivers listed (in the network setup!) eth0 - Atheros ARB132/L1c wlan0 - BCM4312 802.11b/g It comes up, if I run a plain "ifconfig" as root, showing: IP: 192.168.1.3 (DHCP should have assigned it between .100-.199) and Broadcast as: 192.168.1.255 (gateway is: 192.168.1.254) I I did a "hardware info" scan using the utility in gnome after the install, and using a thumbdrive I moved it over to my Lenovo T61 Laptop running LINUX also. I am attaching it for your reference ... -rich- rAllcorn Richard A.
