Hi all,

I've done a small system update yesterday, and since this update, ma NetworkManager don't work anymore. At first, here is my pacman.log

Networkmanager worked nice before this. And since this update, networkmanager can't connect to any network.
The deamons dhcdbd and networkmanager start correctly, no error message.
nm-applet still see my wifi networks and the wired network. But when I click on one of them, it tries to connect then it fails. I think it can't get a IP adress.

I tried to downgrade dhcp, but it still fails. I have a strange output in /var/log/errors.log

Without NM, the network still works fine, but I need networkmanager, it's so usefull !

Does anyone have this problem ? Or an idea ?

The same on my system. There isn't any error message, or log, it just doesn't work.

Uninstall dhcpd and if it still does not work reinstall dhclient. I hope this will be fixed soon.

That worked ! Thank you very much

no4 · 2006-11-16 18:46:21

Thank you. I needed to do both, uninstall the dhcpcd and reinstall the dhclient.

b100dian · 2007-10-29 19:19:10

Hello - I uninstalled dhcpcd and dhcp. I also reinstalled dhclient. Still the timeout while getting the IP address...
Do you have another idea? where should I look (e.g. what part of 'dhcpd' was standing in the way and why?)
