Wireless connection but no Ethernet connection
Hi. When I choose wireless at SNS, no problem, I connect to internet. But when I choose ethernet, there's not connection. Any help?
Don, it's not a driver issue, it has to do with routing.
I have puppies set up as routers in a LAN to Wifi schema that do this all the time.

If you use multiple NIC's (whether ethernet or wifi), you have to have entries in your routing table that say where traffic needs to go. There can be only one default route.

Near the end of this video the problem is mentioned. I had it too.

You're probably referring to RPi models prior to ver 3, in which case this is neither a driver issue, nor a networking issue - it's a hardware issue.don570 wrote:there is something about the Raspberry pi board that doesn't allow both to be used at once.
The RPi has a combined USB/ethernet interface (LAN9512 chip) and when you have a wifi adapter plugged into the USB, which is a likely scenario for all models except the latest RPi 3b, then you may end up with a lot of data competing for bandwidth on the same (combined) interface. Apparently this can upset the driver (smsc95xx) and may even crash the kernel.
Taken in perspective, this is a problem related to a particular, and uncommon, range of hardware and associated kernel modules.
That's untrue. You do the Linux community, and yourself, a disservice by jumping to such extreme assumptions.don570 wrote:Most linux wireless drivers don't support ethernet and wireless being used at the same time.
Back to the original question ...
At the risk of raising Barry's ire, I consider the SNS to be very poor, and it's unfortunate it was ever included in Puppy.disallowed wrote:When I choose wireless at SNS, no problem, I connect to internet. But when I choose ethernet, there's not connection.
I think your problem may be simply solved by using one of the other network wizards - frisbee seems to be trendy, but the FULL network wizard should work fine.

kuman11,
If you have a problem you want to talk about.
Please start your own topic.
It just makes it hard, for everyone, trying to talk about 2 completely different computers on one topic.
Your problem is not the same as this topic is talking about.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
