Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Installaling a second Network connector

 

Hi, Donald.
 
Try this command below (instead "dmesg | tail -100"):
cat /var/log/dmesg | tail -100
And you typed "/sbin/ifconfig-a", but the command is "/sbin/ifconfig -a". Need to put a space between the command "/sbin/ifconfig" and the option "-a".
Try again and show us the results.
 
Also, try this command "/sbin/mii-tool", before and after inserting the USB device.

Thank you Cameron but no cheers! Using the command /sbin/ifconfig-a on the first Terminal did produce the eth0 and lo and also wlan0. When I type in the dmesg |tail-100 ....I get bash command not found! So maybe I am not typing this command correctly.
I opened a second Terminal plug in an adapter, wait several minutes type dmesg | tail-100 ...I get again command not found. I then type /sbin/ifconfig-a ...this time I get the following
bash: /sbin/ifconfig-a: No such file or directory. I am at the root level when I am giving these commands.
It really seems that Centos does not see the adapter.
Thank you for you help. If you have any more suggestions, I would certainly try them out.
Thank you
Don

My instructions were for the command line.

Please open a terminal.
At the command prompt, type:

/sbin/ifconfig -a

Note what inferaces are shown; probably "lo" and "eth0".

Type the command:

dmesg | tail -100

Leave it on the screen for reference.

Open a second terminal.

Plug in a USB adapter and wait a few seconds.

Type the command:

dmesg | tail -100

Is there new stuff at the bottom of the output?

Type the command:

/sbin/ifconfig -a

Are there any new ethernet interfaces shown?

Repeat with each USB adapter until one or both of dmesg and ifconfig show new
stuff (ideally both).

When ifconfig shown a new interface you can try to configure it with
whatever setup tools your desktop interface offers.

Anyway, please try the command line based experiments recited above and
report.

Cheers,
