Network problem
Hi everybody !
I just reinstalled Archlinux with the last version of Archboot and I have some troubles to make my network work.
I have installed gnome 3, networkmanager and his applet. I don't have changed anything in the new rc.conf leaving interface= blank.
Everything work only if I go to the console and type: "modprobe -i ath" "modprobe -i ath5k". The problem is that I have to do it every time I boot my laptop.
Could you help me please ?

Re: Network problem
I use netcfg and found it much easier to configure with net-auto-wired and net-auto-wireless. Just edit a couple text documents telling my laptop to connect to certain networks automatically.

Re: Network problem
Thanks jgreen1tc but I don't think it is link to my network configuration. It is more a loading driver issue/
To resolv more directly my problem, I had "modprobe -i ath" to rc.local and it worked but It is certainly not the right way to do it.

Re: Network problem
Adding ath and ath5k to the MODULES line in rc.conf would load those modules on startup.
It's a bug planet!

Re: Network problem
ath and ath5k are already in the MODULES line, that's why it is weird.

Re: Network problem
Somewhere I read that you no longer have to keep them in the MODULES, but I cannot for the life of me find that link again. Try it out and see if it works.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Re: Network problem
I'm not an expert but for what I understood, it is the blacklist modules which we can remove, not the ones that we want to load. Moreover, it would be weird to remove them if my goal is to load them doesn't it ?
Anyway, thank you for trying to help me ! It's appreciated ! ;-)
