Description Denis Prost 2011-04-12 21:44:44 CEST

when I configure my ethernet card through draknetcenter as a DHCP client, everything seems to be OK, no error message. But then, when I click on the connect button, connection fails silently (I can check with ifconfig eth0 that no IP address is affected to eth0).

I tried dhclient -v eth0 from the command line, but no more success, the output is :
------------
Listening on LPF/eth0/00:1c:7e:0a:19:b8
Sending on   LPF/eth0/00:1c:7e:0a:19:b8
Sending on   Socket/fallback
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
----------------
And so on....

I also tried to start draknetcenter from gnome-terminal as root, to see if there was any error messages. Here is what I get at startup : 
-------------
SIOCETHTOOL: No such device [6 times]
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
-------------

I finally tested DHCP connection on the same computer with a Debian Squeeze system : no problem, it works.

Regards,

Denis

What's the output of "lspcidrake -v|grep -i net"?
Also, could you _attach_ the dmesg.txt file resulting
from running the following command: "dmesg > dmesg.txt"
