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 friendly setup
- Wicd is included in the stock Slackware extra packages, and i shipped it in SL4P.
- I tried it only a bit so i can't recommend it, or not.
- If you want to give it a try, be root, then 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
- Activate Wicd at boot:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd
- Activate Wicd frontend under Xfce. Go in the menu -> Settings -> Session and Startup -> Application Autostart tab, then check "Wicd Network Manager Tray".
- Reboot.
Slackware default setup
- Stock Slackware doesn't use the Network Manager, nor Wicd. The network is established at boot, once for all.
- If you want a non-graphical server-oriented setup, you have to disable the network manager (and Wicd). 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 in when booting. With the deactivation of the network manager, it's no more plug and play.
