    [Help] Knoppix locks up on boot when detecting LAN card.. :(

    Hi!
    When I try to boot Knoppix, it does everything ok until this message...
    Network device eth1 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP. _
    And then the cursor stops blinking and it freezes up...
    Do you know what the problem is and how can I fix it?

    "eth0" should be my Realtek PCI Ethernet card and it seems to be ok (LAN cable attached to it), and "eth1" is probably my on-board LAN nForce4 built-in Gbit MAC (Marvell 88E1111 PHY) that came with my motherboard (no LAN cable attached to it)...
    I tried disabling it on the BIOS, but it still gets detected anyway! :P

    Can someone please tell me what to do to be able to boot Knoppix normally?

    if you use the cheatcode
    Code:
    knoppix nodhcp
    it should boot without locking up.
    then when you get into knoppix do
    Code:
    sudo pump -i eth0
    to get ipadres.
    if this does not work let us hear.
    EDIT
    you type that in a console

    I'm sorry for the mistake, but I forgot something...
    I also have a Wireless PCI card! So, the on-board Ethernet card is disabled correctly afterall... :P
    Therefore, my configuration is this one...
    eth0 - Gigabyte WPKG PCI WLAN Card
    eth1 - Realtek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet NIC
    eth2 - nForce4 built-in Gbit MAC (Marvell 88E1111 PHY)
    Anyway, I did what you said ("sudo pump -i eth1") and it worked fine!
    Thanks man!

    When I run KWiFiManager, it shows Interface eth0, so that's my wireless PCI card...
    But when I start the Network card configuration tool (netcardconfig) and select:
    > "eth0 Netzwerkkart_0" (small translation error here!!!)
    > "Use DHCP broadcast?" (and click "Yes")
    It shows this message and then it completelly locks up Knoppix like on the boot sequence...
    Sending DHCP broadcast from device eth0
    When I boot normally, the 2 messages that appear are:
    Network device eth0 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP.
    Network device eth1 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP._
    And then it locks up... So I though the problem was on the eth1 card, but it's in fact on eth0...
    It's some sort of problem when getting the IP address from the Wireless card, that shouldn't be happening...

    Still... it's kind of annoying having to type that "knoppix nodhcp" command everytime I want to boot Knoppix...
    Will this problem be fixed on next versions?
    If you'd like, just tell me what I have to do and I can try to help you discover a solution for this!
