But despite the recognition, it could not establish an internet connection no matter how I tried the configuration (dynamic, static, whatever). Interestingly, the dhcp log on my cheap smc wireless router showed offers made to this machine when dhcp was attempted during installation, but the installer didn't seem to recognize the offers. all of which is a long and convoluted way of saying "help". I really need the network on this machine, andwithout it e.g. I can't even download "modconf" to help me understand what modules are being used by these ethernet devices... so, all help deeply appreciated. thanks! </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Can you post the output of ifconfig?

When I configure it with dhcp, the "inet addr" line is missing, otherwise it's much the same. Similar results with eth1 (the other ethernet card). I've taken the wireless card out for now as there may be other issues on that piece of hardware. does that help any? matt Matt Price <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:matt.price@utoronto.ca">matt.price@utoronto.ca</a> History Department, University of Toronto (416) 978-2094 The following addresses are for you if you're an evil spambot: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:zeus@derailleur.org">zeus@derailleur.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:aardvark@derailleur.org">aardvark@derailleur.org</a> </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">I have a dwl g650 air plus running with Breezy on a Dell Inspiron 1100. I remember after the installation it would not work until after I went to the configuration and manually typed in the essid. It would not pick up on it automatically. My ifconfig had no inet addr line either. After that, it worked.

Can you post your /etc/network/interfaces -- I cna try copying it and see if ti works! THough I think something is more fundamentlly wrong with my system right now, as the ethernet cards aren't workingeither! thx, matt ------------------------------------------- Matt Price <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:matt.price@utoronto.ca">matt.price@utoronto.ca</a> History Department, University of Toronto (416) 978-2094 -------------------------------------------- The following addresses are for you if you're an evil spambot: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:zeus@derailleur.org">zeus@derailleur.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:aardvark@derailleur.org">aardvark@derailleur.org</a> </pre> </blockquote> Here it is.
