You could have compiled the whole system several times over in the time
you've been trying to fix this. Even when you do fix it, you'll still
have an unfamiliar experience. Sticking with what you know is often best,
unless you treat it as a learning experience.

If it returned nothing with  -p err, nothing logged an error since the
last boot, which is odd considering something is broken. without -p err,
you get everything from the system log, it's like doing "cat
/var/log/messages" but only since the last reboot. You could pipe that
through grep, searching for the name of your network interface.
