[SOLVED] No more network (wired and wireless)

MewFree · 2014-07-18 07:58:02

Hello everybody,

My computer wouldn't boot yesterday (gummiboot was not displaying anything) so I used an Arch boot USB key to mount my hard drive partitions and chroot into my current Ach install to see the problem. I thought of a kernel problem so I downgraded the kernel to 3.15.3 (I was on 3.15.5 and 3.15.4 did not made my computer boot either) as well as the headers.

I can now successfully boot but my network is not working (both wired and wireless). ifconfig does not show anything except the loopback module and there is nothing related to networking when I type lspci.

I checked my pacman.log and here is what happened on the day before my computer could bot boot:

Since I start my computer in the morning and shut it down in the evening, I think my crash is not related to the kernel since I updated to 3.15.5 on the 11th of July and never had an issue until the 17th the July.

Does anyone know how I can work from there to recover my networking?

Thank you

Stop -Sy $package, it breaks things...

Not a kernel issue, moving to NC.

I guess I learnt that the hardway.

Chrooted back into my install, performed a full 'pacman -Syu' update.

Now I can boot with the 3.15.5-2 kernel but still no network connection.

EDIT: okay, I simply add to launch NetworkManager... I am so stupid

Thank you for your help!

This can be marked as solved

Right, I tried but my original title was taking all the space... I shortened it and marked it as solved.

Thank you all
