Networking problems
Im having some big network problems all of a sudden
and am not sure why. This is running an up-to-date
Etch.
I dont do anything fancy.
Im on a wireless network now. I had a system freeze,
and when i rebooted, no networking interfaces came up
at
all. I was unable to get anything recognized, but then
again im not sure how to do this anyway.
I rebooted again, this time booting into 2.6.18-4-686
(instead of -5-), and wireless networking did come up
in the boot process. However the Network Manager
applet doesnt show this--its still reporting in grey
"no network devices have been found". But if I run
network-admin it
does show that eth1 (my wirelss) is running, and i can
get online.
I also did just upgrade with apt-get and i was able to
install 2.6.18-6, but even though this worked
correctly, i still dont get this option when i boot--i
only have -4 or -5 (and again, -5 doesnt recognize my
wireless).
What can i do to address this? I can give more error
messages if i know what to post. Again I dont want to
do anything fancy, I want this to "just work".
Thanks,
Jen
