Can't find my network card after each reboot
I installed Knoppix 3.4 to my HD using the Godot instructions. Seems to be great but every time I restart I have to help it configure my ethernet card from the Knoppix Network/Internet menu.
How can I make it save the configuration?

Well that depends I suppose on what you actually have to enter to get your NIC working. Are the modules for your NIC loaded on boot?
lsmod
Does dhclient bring up your interface?
dhclient eth0
If the module isn't loaded at boot just add it to /etc/modules
If you need to run dhclient on eth0 (or eth1 or whatever) just add it to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

I have to enter my root password each time I reboot and then select the eth0 or eth1 network card then say yes to DHCP and all is ok I am then able to get online
Each reboot I have to make these selections again in order to make connection

OK so just do what I posted above. It now dawns on me that Knoppix might use pump instead of dhclient.

forcedeth is your onboard ethernet controller driver so good- it loads automatically. Now......get root
su
dhclient eth0
OR
pump eth0
One of those should bring up your network interface. If it does you just need to add the same thing to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
su
xedit /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
at the bottom put
dhclient eth0
OR
pump eth0
dhclient and pump do essentially the same thing and I don't recall which Knoppix has ATM. Of course I could easily go look.....
-
no they won't bring up interface.
dhclient eth0 or pump eth0 gave the following;
knoppix@knopbox:~$ su
Password:
root@knopbox:/home/knoppix# dhclient eth0
bash: dhclient: command not found
root@knopbox:/home/knoppix# pump eth0
pump: no extra parameters are expected
root@knopbox:/home/knoppix#
also when I select my eth0 from the network card configuration menu it asks if I want to allow DHCP Broadcasting yes or no
sorry to be such a pain but I do appreciate the help

pump defaults to eth0, I think. If you need to specify a different NIC, you can use the syntax:
pump -i eth1
where eth1 is the device name of the other NIC. That's worked for me in the past. In future, when you get messages like "no extra parameters expected" or "wrong number of parameters" or something like that, your best bet is probably to check the man page by typing
man command (i.e. man pump)
or the inline help by typing
command --help (i.e. pump --help)
most command line programs have those help options.
