Re: Netconfig Fail

Hi, Peter & Ray:

  Peter, if you add this line to /etc/rc.d/syslog.conf,

local0.*     /var/log/dhcpcd.log

  then when you 'dhcpcd -d eth[01] it will put debug lines
  into /var/log/dhcpcd.log  (See 'man dhcpcd')

  It seems to me that Fedora is finding your add-on PCI card and
assigning it eth0, yet Slackware is assigning it eth1 !?

  I expected, since you disabled the on-board ether device,
all distributions would only find a 'eth0'.

  So, if Slackware assigns it 'eth1' and your rc.inet1.conf assigns
DHCP to eth0, it will not work.

  Run dhcpcd from a console. If Slackware sees your PCI NIC as eth1;
dhcpcd eth1

  If that works, you can either edit rc.inet1.conf or add
'dhcpcd eth1' to rc.local.

HTH, Chuck
