removed configured connection added new wireless connection connected
journalctl -u NetworkManager |grep -i dhcp
no output after time stamp when removed previous config
removed net config added new wireless didn't assign static ip
connection now work as would be expected.
checked journalctl .... again and still no dhcp entries
and playing with the second laptop I find that running /sbin/dhcpcd <dev> obtains a lease and allows connection.
What do I need to do to make sure that dhcpcd runs when required. I would think that it would be a service initiated by the need for an address???
tks, think we are getting somewhere.
Still do not understand why a fresh install does not connect, at least in my experience, to wireless internet :^)
ps: connection is restored after reboot
fwiw, the second laptop connection is *not* restored after reboot, but comes up immediately after issuing: /sbin/dhcpcd <dev>
but restarting the network drops the connection and it is not automagically restored nor will it connect w/o killing the pid of dhcpcd. fwiw, this machine is a dell inspiron w/intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN if that matters.
Maybe something in the configs? While fighting this issue did you tell yast not to use NetworkManager on this machine? -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
