Networking not starting at boot up

**caseybee** · 03-26-2007, 01:27 PM

Hi All

During boot up, the configs.tbz is read from floppy,
Mesg 'setting up networking' appears, followed by '* /etc/network/options is deprecated...'

I can not access my network until I go through Knoppix > Network/Internet > network card configuration
All my previous settings appear and networking is started up and everything works. Any ideas?

My options file reads:

ip_forward=no
spoofprotect=yes
synccookies=no

I'm running 5.1.1 Live CD

I have spent ages trawling through the forum & how-tos
All suggestions greatly appreciated.

If youre running the live cd then yes you will have to setup your network each time.

If you have done a permanent HD install (not recommended for beginners) then you must install as either a Debian system, or beginner system, these will remember your configuration settings. The CD type install behaes exactly like the cd.

I don't understand this:

When booting knoppix 4.0, I don't have to setup anything....it works immediately. But 5.1.1 does require setup.
Is this by design, or is this a problem I can fix?

Hi, I'm also having problems with my knoppix load not auto-starting my network now. I've done the HDD install and never had a problem with the network card starting on start-up until recently. I had some ethernet cable problems and swapped out a faulty cable and now my network card doesn't auto-start? Any idea why? I never had this problem before? Now I have to go into the network config under the knoppix menu and run network card configuration to get on my network. I thought it had an option to autostart but I'm not seeing it anymore? Thanks for any/all ideas and help.

Here's my version.

Code:

root@nuxbox:/home/james# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.12 (root@Knoppix) (gcc-Version 3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-7)) #2 SMP Tue Aug 9 23:20:52 CEST 2005

This is what my /etc/network/interfaces looks like

auto lo wlan0
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_rate 54M auto
wireless_channel 11
wireless_essid XXXXXXXX
wireless_key XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
post-up route add default gateway 192.168.0.1

It now starts everytime!!
