Problems with NetworkManager, can't see any interface

isaidyep · 2010-01-04 11:12:28

Hi all, i'm a newbie and i'm experiencing problems with NetworkManager.
I couldn't find any solution while i was looking for topics related to my problem.
Yesterday i was working on my laptop on batteries, i set the powersave to aggressive and worked until it turned off. Today i can't see any interface with NetworkManager.
I found this topic:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=87289

Anyway this doesn't solve my problem because my interfaces used to work perfectly.

I tried ifconfig eth1 up but still NetworkManager can't see it. Using iwlist i can see mi AP though.

Here's my rc.conf

#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# LOCALIZATION
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "UTC" or "localtime"
# USEDIRECTISA: use direct I/O requests instead of /dev/rtc for hwclock
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps
# CONSOLEFONT: found in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-US)
# CONSOLEMAP: found in /usr/share/kbd/consoletrans
# USECOLOR: use ANSI color sequences in startup messages
#
LOCALE="it_IT.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
USEDIRECTISA="no"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Rome"
KEYMAP="it"
CONSOLEFONT="lat1-16"
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# HARDWARE
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# MOD_AUTOLOAD: Allow autoloading of modules at boot and when needed
# MOD_BLACKLIST: Prevent udev from loading these modules
# MODULES: Modules to load at boot-up. Prefix with a ! to blacklist.
#
# NOTE: Use of 'MOD_BLACKLIST' is deprecated. Please use ! in the MODULES array.
#
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=()
# Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
USELVM="no"
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING

#
# HOSTNAME: Hostname of machine. Should also be put in /etc/hosts
#
HOSTNAME="MirkoArchLaptop"
# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available interfaces.
#
# 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
# - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
#
# DHCP: Set your interface to "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
# Wireless: See network profiles below
#
#Static IP example
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !eth1)
# 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 (dialog package required)
# - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
#
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network.d
#
# This now requires the netcfg package
#
#NETWORKS=(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 !network hal networkmanager alsa netfs crond mysqld )

Thank you in advance!

Have you read the Beginners' Guide section on networking?

Is there a reason why you are blacklisting both interfaces?

I had a similar problem after a bad suspend, that has been hapening always since some time ago..
networkmanager couldn't see anything, after investigated my computer a little i did the following and it worked:
sudo /etc/rc.d/networkmanager wake

I had a ton of issues setting up my network manager. My main issue was WPA2. I ended up using wicd. Once installed I just run wicd-client -n, its one of the better networking programs in my opinion. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wicd theres the setup info if you wanna give it a go. I found that tutorial very informative and useful for connecting to networks.

I just followed the wiki, it says that i have to disable the interfaces to let NetworkManager handle them, and it worked for me until yesterday!
