Networking troubles

I have a Thinkpad 390x, and I'm having trouble getting it connected to the internet so I can download xfce through pacman. I've tried changing some settings in rc.conf (changed it to dhcp, and also changed my gateway). There is an ethernet port on the laptop.

ifconfig -a

cat /etc/rc.conf

Have you tried to turn it off and on again?

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 (dialog package required)
    - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
NET_PROFILES=(main)

Daemons

Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
    - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
    - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmia network netfs crond)

End of file

Re: Networking troubles

sorry

Please  post the rc.txt

less /etc/rc.conf > rc.txt

and

lspci -v

I think the Modul for your Network Device is not loaded

yes, but when you run

less rc.conf > rc.txt

you have one..

And the lspci output is not all....

Re: Networking troubles

rc.conf is in the folder /etc.

so, when he (or she) says less rc.conf > rc.txt, he really means

cat /etc/rc.conf > ~/rc.txt 

Now, rc.txt should miraculously appear in you home folder. 

less ~/rc.txt

Use the arrows to scroll.
Rock on.
