ethernet ar81xx does not show in network prefs.

[bbjimmy]

hrev40467 gcc4 hybrid completely repeatable on my eeepc:

Connect to a wifi using atheroswifi.

change prefs for the atheroswifi to static to prevent losing connection when there are more than one wifi connection detected and re-boot to make the setting stick - otherwise the connection will lose its ip.

the atheros wifi connection is now stable, byt the ar81xx device has been removed from the network prefs.

to find the ar81xx ethernet:

renove /boot/common/settings/interfaces and re-boot.

syslog

[bbjimmy]

/boot/common/settings/network/interfaces

[bbjimmy]

resolv.conf

[bbjimmy]

output if listdev

[bbjimmy]

should be: remove boot/common/settings/network/interfaces

Could you please if the issue is still there after hrev41274? Thanks.

[bbjimmy]

The issue persists on hrev41279.

Does it still occur?

[bbjimmy]

The symptoms have changed.

Since I have not had trouble with dhcp for quite some time, I haven't tested.

Now, hrev44041, the atheroswifi is the network adapter that does not show after setting it to a static ip. The ar81xx is now shown as being set to the static ip. ??? I don't get it. Again, deleting boot/common/settings/interfaces and re-booting solves the issue.

Could you please try to set atheroswifi to static, reboot and attach your syslog right after boot?

[bbjimmy]

syslog 04-1`9-2012

[bbjimmy]

Disregard my remarks on the symptom changing,I must have set the ar81xx to static. I set the wifi to static and nor the ar81xx has been renoved from Network perferences again. attatched is the latest syslog.

The removable of the interfaces file and rebooting fixed it for me (I'm not the original poster here, but was happy to have the solution!)
