I assume you have no ifplugd installed - but from what I undestand wicd wor= ks=20 in a similar fashion (i.e. it runs dhcpcd) - so I can't really explain this. What do you get in /var/log/messages when you run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 star= t. =20 It should start dhcpcd by default (even without a /etc/conf.d/net). > I don't have wireless working yet; need to check on the driver (wireless > is also broadcom).

You'll probably need to install b43-fwcutter and follow the instructions he= re=20 (depending on your wireless NIC): http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart50753025.K6XSONc1zC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk6khPcACgkQVTDTR3kpaLZM8gCfQJAK04lqe3ZStAffnbthlelq j0AAn2Y7srVBYw4J5UhDw/SPDvfTlcxN =y/2q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart50753025.K6XSONc1zC--
