help me, please with network profile
I added to /etc/network-profiles
default and home (profile)
my /erc/rc.conf:
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
HOSTNAME="myhost"
#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
# - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
#
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
#
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
# - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up
# - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
#
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
#
NET_PROFILES=(menu)
when arch booting, menu with net profiles starts, but when I choose the default or home profile:
eroor: /etc/network-profiles/bin is missing
what can I do with this error?
sorry for my English. thanks.

I just wanted to point out if you are using a static IP, you need to remove the bang (!) from gateway in ROUTES line.

the bang is true (I am not in route)
network starts fine, but the network-profiles dont work.
I am using laptop in school, home and on another places. In school I am using eth0 (xircom credit card 10/100), at home I am using a edge modem.
I want to use network-profiles, because I want to switch beetwen default (school), home and another places profiles.
When network profiles dont work, I must edit /etc/rc.conf and /etc/resolv.conf and use command /etc/rc.d/network restart (when I want to connect to internet on another place like school and home.

I'm having the same exact problem.

When booting if I select a menu entry for a profile I get the same error: /etc/network-profiles/bin missing
After booting and before starting X if I restart networking and select a menu entry for a profile I get an error: /etc/network-profiles/Choices missing
If I restart networking and let the menu timeout so the default profile is selected (before starting X) it works correctly
If I start X then restart networking and select a menu entry for a profile it works correctly
I haven't even started trying to figure out what the problem is but maybe a problem with my environment or something before I startx

And what about archlinux developers? Exists some contact, where I can send this problem?

It turns out that for me this is a problem with gpm of all things.
netcfg creates /tmp/tmp.whatever files that should contain the name of the profile you select. This file is then used by the function start_profile. When I looked at the contents of the tmp.whatever files I found they contained more than just the name of the profile I had selected. For example:
*** debug [lib/liblow.c(205)]:
VC: 0
Work
A google search indicated that liblow.c belongs to gpm. Since I dont really need gpm I uninstalled it and now my profiles work correctly when selected from the menu.

Unfortunatelly, I need gmp for elinks.
I'll try and remove them anyways just to see if I can corroborate what you have found.
Thanks for the leed.

I will try it.

I was having similar liblow.c problems mucking up my alsaconf recently... thanks for pointing me in the right direction to solve that, shbang.

Thank you very much, Shbang. It works fine.
I must remove midnight comander, because he requires gpm. :oops:
I will try another software, like file utility.

with new version of gpm it works fine
