Networking issue in slackware64-current?
by slacker1337 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57S6Z)
I'm not new to configuring networking in Slackware, but I've recently bought a new computer that required me to upgrade to Slackware-current.
After performing the install, I found that my network wasn't accessible after a fresh boot. I originally had it set up as a bridged (br0) via eth0, but backed that out as I thought it might be the problem.
Long story short, I got curious when I wasn't observing any output from /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 in the boot output. I think /etc/rc.d/rc.M is missing the command to source the rc files, here is what I changed:
Line 111:
Code:. /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1and Line 140:
Code:. /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2I'm still not seeing any output regarding starting up the networking, but it works consistently now that I've made the change.
