Hi Folks, I have a rush job to install Linux on a new HP 4530s laptop, so I tried 12.1 x86-64. Things went well until the configuration screen right before the "Test Network" screen. A popup appeared saying that the network wasn't found and gave me an "ok" button to click. It then proceeded to the network test screen. It failed the network test, obviously, but proceeded with the installation if testing wasn't selected. Once the install was finished I fiddled around a bit to see if I could figure out what was going on. Ifconfig showed both the wired and wireless interfaces, the wired interface even showed an outgoing byte count, but zero in. I tried configuring the wireless interface, it showed my access point and allowed me to select security and the password, but data couldn't be passed. So, basically, all networking is down. I then installed 11.4 x86-64 and it works with the wired interface! This proves it's not the laptop, the cabling or my switched hub. But the wireless interface doesn't work, it won't even show the access points. I've got this weekend to fiddle with this, so I'd like to try 12.1 again and try enabling sysvinit. This leads to the question: How can I disable systemctl and enable sysvinit without a working network? Is this even worth trying? Or is there something else I can try?
