SL4P default setup
- The Network Manager, well, manages the connections, and ask for an IP address through a DHCP request.
- You can set it up through a right-click on the Xfce desktop icon.
- It's not included in the stock Slackware.
Slackware default setup
- Stock Slackware doesn't use the Network Manager, nor Wicd.
- If you want a non-graphical server setup, you can disable the network manager. Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and comment at the end:
/etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager start
into
#/etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager start
- Run as root:
netconfig
- The hostname MUST BE:
darkstar
otherwise you'll break some Pandora scripts compatibility. Sudo won't launch anything with the wrong hostname.
- Set you parameters.
- Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf to finalize your setup.
- Be sure to have all used interfaces plugged when booting. With the deactivation of the network manager, it's no more plug and play.
