I am using debian 6.0
My wifi is working fine but I couldn't use lan on my laptop..
It shows in gnome panel that, wired networks is not managed .. I have searched on internet but I could nt find gud solution.
Please help me...
you could check if in the file /etc/network/interfaces you have a line defining your wired ethernet card, such as: "allow-hotplug eth0" or "auto eth0". You also might have the device configured, with lines such as:
my /etc/network/interfaces file contains
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
i dont know wht this dhcp is bt I havnt used this earlier and I am under my institute's(
nitrkl.ac.in) firewall
and at the installation time it automatically configured my laptop as
phani.nitrkl.ac.in (I doubt this)
Is my institute firewall making problem?
As far as I know my institute supports automatic DHCP configuration
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.100
or
iface eth0 inet dhcp
If you have any of these, you should comment them out by prepending each line with a "#" and then restart the network-manager service (/etc/init.d/network-manager restart).
I tried
Stopping network connection manager: NetworkManager.
Starting network connection manager: NetworkManager.
nothing happend!!
Regards,
thanks
As mentioned in the first reply, you should try to run:
lspci
Specifically:
lspci | grep Eth
or:
lspci | grep Net
This should give you a list of network adaptors, then other people on the list can help you to determine whether your ethernet adaptors have linux kernel drivers. It could be the case that they're unsupported, or just that your system isn't configured correctly.
