Kubuntu 8.04
I have an old laptop Compaq Evo N610C. It has Intel Pro100 build in NIC. I have a PCMCIA card with ACX11 chipset (I use ndiswrapper).
I have a home router with с DHCP server and a small pool of DHCP ip (8 addresses), some of the addresses are reserved for MAC's there are still 4 nonreserved free ip's. I also use WPA-PSK in wlan (infrastructure).
I had no problems installing, initial setting, package installation, upgrading using eth0 (Intel Pro), ip was given by DHCP - no problems. There were some problems with wi-fi. This helped
an advise from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...AHowTo/Kubuntu
Now wi-fi works and gets ip by dhcp. When setting up my wi-fi I have switched of eth0 with NetworkManager. Now I cannot bring eth0 up with dhcp, only with static ip.
The file /etc/network/interfaces contains only loopback.
The current situation is normal for my home network. But there may be problems in some other place when I'll need eth0 with dhcp.
Possible solutions -
1. I can edit /etc/network/interfaces and put eth0 there.
2. I can try wicd since it can handle wired network.
3. I would like to restore NetworkManager to be able to configure eth0 with dhcp
?
Can anybody help with (3) or tell me if (2) will work.
