OK, I got lots of output from ifconfig, and tons from /var/log/ messages; so what should I look for??
(a) Post the output from ifconfig
(b) type this:
tail -f /var/log/messages
(c) Now tell networkmanager to connect.
(d) Post everything that shows up from that point until the connection attempt fails.
Remember the problem machine can't even send *me* things over my LAN; what's more, I don't seem to see an app for writing them to a CD and sneaker-mailing them to myself.
Hi-yi-yippee-ki-yay! I did ps ax|grep networkmanager ; got a process number; killed it; and wonder of wonders, it put itself online.
I launched firefox, opened a tab to weather, and got today's data ; so it really is online!
Many many thanks!!
