Disabled network management at boot

[nobrainer]

Hi,
I'm using Porteus 4.1 customised build ISO to boot from CD. During boot messages confirm that network manager and dhcpcd are disabled automatically. As a result, on opening network manager is grayed out and i'm unable feed settings for eth0 & eth1. (I 've 2 network cards one connected to internet and other to LAN.) Hence there is no internet & LAN access.
Please help.

[fanthom]

did you select 'nonetwork' option during the wizard?
if yes then please create new ISO and do not enable this option. if not then please post the output of 'lspci -knn' command.

thanks

No. Most probably I didnot select nonetwork option.
Still, i am posting output of lspci -knn from terminal -

Code: Select all

Thanks for helping.

@nobrainer:
Really it would be good that you do the first step of the problem solving proposed by fanthom:

did you select 'nonetwork' option during the wizard

That is redo the whole process making sure that you do not select `nonetwork`.

lspci is the second step, and of no use if you did not follow the first step. I would be surprised that fanthom will go further with your demand. In addition for lenghty output, use the Code limits to shrink the space taken by your post.

@nobrainer
lspci shows that both of your ethernet cards are supported and this sentence:

During boot messages confirm that network manager and dhcpcd are disabled automatically.

tells me that you are using 'nonetwork' cheatcode somehow (wizard fault?). please run 'cat /proc/cmdline' and check if you get 'nonetwork' string. if yes then:
a) remove every occurrence of it from /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg
b) if you are saving changes then please read 'nonetwork' cheat description in /boot/docs/cheatcodes.txt and follow instructions to bring back dhcpcd/network manager.

thanks
