> a dmesg may be useful $dmesg|grep eth0
[ 14.587201] eth0: RTL8102e at 0xf8834000, 00:26:b9:09:37:64, XID 24a00000 IRQ 221 [ 47.656547] r8169: eth0: link up [ 47.656566] r8169: eth0: link up [ 47.778256] device eth0 entered promiscuous mode [ 47.778265] audit(1270620237.187:3): dev=eth0 prom=256 old_prom=0 auid=4294967295 [ 48.203126] eth0: no IPv6 routers present The thing is that I want to avoid using any kind of "overcomlplicated" software like gnome, so I tried to remove as many gnome packages from the system as I could. Is it possible that in gnewsense the commandline network configuration packages were substituded by those from the "gnome-network-set" and I got an "unstable" system after removing gnome? It would be wonderful if anybody explaines me the difference of basic network-configuration tools in Debian and gnewsense. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list gNewSense-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
