 Posted: Sat Aug 25, 2018 6:20 pm Post subject: Can't add a route, net.enp0s31f6 starts fine |
 |
|
Just did a new install and my ethernet interface appears to start fine. I've filled out /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/conf.d/net. However, I can't ping my gateway.
I've noticed when I give the route command, it just hangs and there are no routes listed.
Did I forget to enable a specific module somewhere's? |

Wizumwalt,
Move /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/resolv.conf out of the way.
Run | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.enp0s31f6 restart |
That should get an automatic setup from your dhcp server in your router.
Unless you deliberately turned off the dhcp server.
As long as your ip address does not start 169.254. it looks promising.

And here's the result of that.
| Code: | $ /etc/init.d/net.enp0s31f6 restart
* Caching service dependencies
* config_enp0s3f6 not specified; defaulting to DHCP
RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
Error talking to the kernel
* Bringing up interface enp0s31f6
* config_enp0s31f6 not specified; defaulting to DHCP
* dhcp ...
* Running udhcpc ...
udhcpc: started, v1.29.0
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: no lease, failing
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/bin/busybox`
* ERROR: net.enp0s31f6 failed to start
|
Thoughts?
Update:
Note that if I leave resolv.conf and conf.d/net filled out to my normal values, the interface does get the values listed in conf.d/net and shows no errors. |

Wizumwalt,
What does dmesg say about enp0s31f6 ?
That looks like networking on USB. Do you have firmware missing?
It would be good to see all of dmesg on a pastebin after the interface has failed to start.

When I zero out resolv.conf and net, then do a restart, the only new entry in dmesg is ...
| Code: | | [ 5123.21341242] e1000e: enp0s31f6 NIC Link is Down |

Wizumwalt,
Link is Down means that there is no detected electrical connection to the other end of the link.
Do you have several interfaces and have the cable connected to the wrong one?

| Ugh, thanks. For some reason, I had to switch ports from what the systemrescuecd was working off of, and when it boots on it's own. |
