*** Bug 180489 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Maybe you can add to your /etc/conf.d/net this line to enable dhcp on startup : config_eth1=( "dhcp" ) I think this can solve the problem... Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't work unfortunately. The problem doesn't seem to be that it is not configured to use dhcp (that should be the default if you don't specify anything by my understanding) but that the init script doesn't seem to even finish. The evidence is that other init scripts that depend on the network believe it to not be activated, and that when I call its init script with status is says that it is inactive. Any other ideas? Someone has pointed out to me that the high number of packet RX errors reported by ifconfig may indicate a driver problem. I intend to try turning off encryption to see if that eliminates these packet errors. I will post back the results! Wow, I just realized that I never posted back the results! Well, I ended up using wireless tools instead with WEP encryption and the system works perfectly. I really want to use WPA, but it just doesn't seem to work... If you try wpa again, post more output like wpa_cli status and we'll work from there. Until then, closing. |
