Netcfg - static eth0 / wlan0 configuration
Hi all,
I am trying to setup a home router with Arch Linux and having some difficulty with network profiles.
eth0 and wlan0 are for my LAN and will be part of the bridge br0
eth1 is the external interface which uses DHCP to get an IP from the cable modem / FIOS box etc.
My problem is, I cannot seem to set the IP address for either wlan0 or eth0.
My configuration looks like:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='internal WLAN'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.2.2'
DNS='127.0.0.1'
I configured it as ethernet because I will use hostapd to serve out wireless from that interface.
What else am I missing? The ip address is never set and the interface is not brought up.
Walter
I will give that a try, but as far as why the interfaces eth0 and wlan0 are not being set, that appears to be a different problem altogether.

[SOLVED] netcfg static IP not persisting across reboots in VM
I ran into an issue with netcfg static IP not persisting across reboots in a VM. I figured it out, but it took me awhile as a brand new user, so I thought I'd post it.
Setup
Using VMWare Workstation 8.0.3 build-703057 with bridged networking
Host OS: Linux Mint 14 64-bit
Guest OS: Arch Linux 2013.03.01 x86_64
Given a fresh install on the guest, setup netcfg:
cd /etc/network.d
cp examples/ethernet-static ./myprofile
nano myprofile
# customize this file. I also added NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
systemctl enable netcfg@myprofile
systemctl start netcfg@myprofile
Test the configuration. It should be successful:
ping google.com
Problem
See if the changes survive a reboot.
reboot
ping google.com
I got the error "connect: Network is unreachable".
Check the logs:
journalctl
G
I found the following netcfg failure..
[email protected]: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
..prior to the following device initialization:
kernel: e1000 0000:02:00.0 eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
system-udevd[117]: renamed network interface eth0 to emp2s0
Solution
It looks like netcfg is being started before the device it depends on has been initialized. Inform systemd of the
dependency so they start in the proper order:
# nano /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/[email protected]
# Add the following to [Unit]. Remember to replace enp2s0 with your device name.
Requires=sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp2s0.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp2s0.device
Test again:
reboot
ping google.com
This should now be successful.fukawi2 wrote:

[SOLVED] eth0-wlan0 AP using bridge AND keep internet access
Hi there!
This is my very first post here, so please forgive me if I (unintentionally) violate some rule.
I have set up my system as an eth0-wlan0 access point with hostapd using a bridge.
The IP addresses are provided by a separate dhcp-server (router resp. cablemodem).
My problem is: when I work on the AP I would like to have a working connection to the
Internet/Router. But to get there I have to execute
systemctl restart dhcpcd.service
The AP via the eth0-wlan0 bridge keeps working and I now have a working Internet connection.
AFAIK the dhcpcd service acts (invoked by netcfg) on the bridge-profile to assign an IP
to eth0. After that the bridge is set up and (now hostapd.service is up) the wlan0 is
added to the bridge in AP mode.
It would be great if someone could point out the problem for me.
Thx, Benedikt

[Solved] Ask4 Student Internet, eth0-wlan0 AP using bridge
Didn't want to 'pollute' the wiki, in case this isn't the best way of doing, what I did; but it caused me enough frustration to not document it.
Basically, needed to create an access point using a wireless dongle to get my Nexus on the internet (Ask4's wireless routers aren't great ). Also as NAT stuff is "forbidden" on their servers/whatevers, needed to use bridging. Be warned - may kill your system/do funky stuff.
So...
1. Need to find out if your dongle is compatible with Master Mode (or AP mode) - loads of websites/wikis on this
2. Install hostapd (see Arch's wiki)
3. Create a hostapd.conf file in your home directory (just for testing - the one in /etc/hostapd is 'large'
#change wlan0 to your wireless device
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
channel=1
bridge=br0
4. Create the /etc/network.d/bridge file (see Arch's wiki)
INTERFACE="br0"
CONNECTION="bridge"
DESCRIPTION="Bridge wired and wireless connection"
# Only add wired interface here, hostapd will add wireless
BRIDGE_INTERFACES="eth0"
IP="dhcp"
#IP="static"
#ADDR='10.0.0.10'
#GATEWAY='10.0.0.1'
#DNS='10.0.0.1'
To get it to work with Ask4, you need eth0 to have DHCP enabled for this bit
5. enable and start [email protected]
6. stop dhcpcd.service
7. Start hostapd
hostapd ~/hostapd.conf
to see if everything works
8. Try connecting to the network using your device (should work)
9. Once you've finished using it, kill the hostapd process
10. Stop [email protected]
11. Start [email protected] to get the internet working again.
If everything works, you probably want to go back and edit the hostapd conf to give it some security.

Netctl will not start my static IP network configuration
Hi,
I've never been able to set up a simple static IP configuration for my wired network adapter. Now I need to in order to reset a router I have at home. I use (only) netctl profiles to manage my wireless and wired network connections. I've Googled for solutions to my problem, and the most common solution (disable dhcpcd) does not apply to me, since dhcpcd is not running when I try to enable my static IP profile. Can you guys see what I am doing wrong?
I ran the following commands to generate debugging information.
systemctl --type=service --no-pager
ip addr
cat /etc/netctl/wired-static
netctl start wired-static
systemctl --type=service --no-pager
systemctl status netctl@wired\x2dstatic.service
journalctl -x -n 26 --no-pager
Here is the output.

Last edited by willardthor (2014-06-17 14:37:20)There is no link. Bring the link up manually and check status with
ip link set up enp1s0
ip link enp1s0
If the link fails to come up (state other than "UP") it is likely a driver issue. If the link comes up (state UP) but status has "NO-CARRIER" it is likely a hardware issue, either one of the endpoints or the cable. First thing I would try in this case is a different cable.
You can tell netctl to bring the interface up anyway with the option in /etc/netctl/wired-static
SkipNoCarrier=yes
However, the interface will not work until the link is fixed. -
Netcfg/systemd not bringing up eth0 (static profile)
I installed a fresh copy of Arch on a flash drive that will power my RAID server today. So far, it's almost perfect.
The issue right now is that in netcfg fails to bring up a static eth0 profile at boot. I've got the netcfg.service enabled and if I do it from the command line, it'll come up without a hassle. Occassionally, it'll give me the "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" error, but it still works. However, nine times out of ten, an error flashes by and the interface never comes up.

The unfortunate thing is that I don't have a /var/log/boot file. Also, because I booted with systemd, I can't use inittab to stop Arch from clearing the terminal before presenting the login prompt.
So, I'm not sure where to go from here. Please give me something to post or read or something. I definitely need to get this to come up reliably at boot, as this'll be a headless unit.It failed again today:

I don't know what that NOHZ bit is about, but it doesn't seem to stand in the way. So, what I've gathered from all of this is that netcfg recognizes eth0 just fine, but somewhere between systemd's netcfg.service and netcfg-daemon, eth0 is invisible.

Another think is the card is there and recognized but the led light is not on so the card is not actually turning on and that can be an issue so can not scan for networks or even bring wlan0 up as I get this error.
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Your help would be greatly appreciated as though I have used Ubuntu and Fedora for years everything worked out of the box so this is new to me. He he breakage I love Arch , learning so much.
Last edited by TomWitko (2009-08-23 15:05:33)Umm k looking into this and fixing this now. Went by the wiki page for the dell xps 1530 and it stated I needed the 65 driver, just figured out I have the 45 card so need the 45 driver. Will update later when I get it fixed.
K changed the driver and now can get wlan0 up ,, have to check out if everthing works now.

Network bridge problems linking wwan0 and eth0 [SOLVED]
Hi There,
I have just got working a 3G modem which appears as device wwan0. I am trying to link this interface to my wired ethernet eth0.
wwan0 seems to work fine with network manager, getting a IP address via dhcp works just fine and I can use the interface.
However, when I disable network manager and try to bring up the bridge with "netcfg up bridge" it times out, failing to get an lease with dhcp.
My /etc/network.d/bridge file contains the following:
INTERFACE="br0"
CONNECTION="bridge"
DESCRIPTION="Bridge wired and wireless connection"
BRIDGE_INTERFACES="eth0 wwan0"
IP="dhcp"
#FWD_DELAY=10
As per the wiki, I have tried using various values for FWD_DELAY (i.e 10 7 5,4,3,2,1,0) but nothing ..
The relevant sections of /etc/rc.conf are:
NETWORKS=(bridge)
DAEMONS=( ... net-profiles !networkmanager ...)
It seems that DHCP via networkmanager is the only way the interface gets an IP. I even tried "dhcpd br0" or "dhcpd wwan0" and they both time out.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Last edited by bmentink (2012-05-15 22:02:00)Hi,
Ok I have this working now, here are the steps I used.
1. Allowed NetworkManager to setup the 3G Interface wwan0 with DHCP ..
2. Disabled my eth0 interface from Networkmanager by putting an entry in /etc/Networkmanager/Networkmanager.conf
3. Manually configured eth0 with a static IP of 192.168.0.1
4. did the "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" thing for IP forwarding
5. did the following with iptables:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j MASQUERADE
rc.d save iptables
rc.d start iptables
6. Connected my wireless router "wan" port to eth0 and configured for 192.168.0.2 IP address and DNS servers dished up from the network ..
( .. looked at the entries in /etc/resolve.conf on the PC I am sharing the internet )
I can then connect to my wireless lan with my other computers..and on to the internet ... yahoo .. :-)
The only issue I have with this setup is getting the 3G interface to connect automatically to the network .. I ticked the box in networkmanager, but it doesn't seem to work
if I reboot the PC or take the usb T stick out and plug back in, I have to manually connect to the network with networkmanager. Does anyone know how to do this automatically ..
[edit] seems this is a known bug ... you can only auto connect when the interface power is set to "on", but stupidly it defaults to "off"
Thanks,
B.

[SOLVED] netcfg: unable to add gateway on boot when using ipv6
I'm using netcfg to start two interfaces. The first, eth0, is configured with IPv6 in its profile, and for some reason does not start on boot but throws an error. (note: I've changed the real addresses to mask them.)

The strange thing is that, after boot, I can easily do a `/etc/rc.d/net-profiles restart` or `netcfg up eth0`, and eth0 works fine. Any suggestions? Here's my eth0 profile.

Netcfg - no connection, interface without devices connected
I have two interfaces eth0, eth1
eth0 (DHCP) - connect to router, provide internet
eth1 (STATIC IP) - connect with print server in my printer
- I expect interface should up without need to have powered on device connected to it
Everything worked fine, when interfaces were configured with /etc/rc.conf.
Now I configured network with netcfg and:
eth0 - up and everything ok
eth1 - no starts up, when no device is connected (powered off device connected) to this ethernet card

Am I missing some setting? Maybe I should disable/enable something in profile?
Things to reproduce:
1. two ethernet cards
2. first connected network and second connected to switched off device, or not connected
3. configure 2 netcfg profiles (first - dhcp, second -static ip)
4. the second interface will fail to start up
Last edited by ostanislaw (2011-06-18 10:31:12)Now I configured second interface - eth1 the old way in /etc/rc.conf:
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 mtu 1492"
INTERFACES=(eth1)
While eth0 is configured by netcfg profile.
Both interfaces works. But my problem is not solved, because both interface should be configured in netcfg.
I think netcfg check if network is available and doesn't start eth1 interface, while device configured the old way in /etc/rc.conf doesn't perform this check. There should be option to disable it in netcfg profile.

Hi all,
few updates ago netcfg switched to 2.5.2, but now i'm in trouble; a previous post highlights the same
problem: netcfg seems to be forced on WPA authentication even when i set SECURITY=none, but he
resolves downgrading netcfg from rc2 to a stable release, now 2.5.2 is in core so downgrading couldn't
be permitted ;-)

ff0000Okay, some more googling pinpointed the source of the intermittent network connectivity: I haven't been killing off the old wpa_supplicant processes. But, I'm still getting the same netcfg errors when I start clean with no dhcpcd's or wpa_supplicant's running.
If I watch the processes that are running while netcfg tries to start, I see wpa_supplicant being called correctly (with just an extra -P /var/path/to/some/file.pid compared to what I'm running), but dhcpcd doesn't start at all. Does anone know what's going on between those two commands? -
Have a rh9 system, with /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 contents :
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=140....
NETMASK=255.255.254.0
BROADCAST=140...
GATEWAY=140....
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
During system bootup, eth0 never comes up automatically. "service network status" shows eth0 in "configured devices" only, not in "currently active devices".
"chkconfig --list network" shows :
network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
After bootup, typing "service network reload" from command line activates eth0. Not sure what else could be stopping eth0 from coming up automatically upon reboot.
Any suggestions ? Thanks.hi
Try "dmesg|more" look for you dev(eth0 ) see if the is any errors anound it

Any way to debug error indicated in ifconfig? Windows and OSX users in our office are able to successfully connect.
Setup facts:
I have set a static IP for eth0 in rc.conf, it shouldn't matter though.
I am using NetworkManager with 2 dispatch scripts to bring up sshfs and smbnetfs.
I have set immutable bit on resolv.conf because NM kept overriding it with crappy nameservers.
I have tried many setting combinations in Network Setting window.
Our network is partly managed by third party.
Will update when I remember more...
Thank you
Last edited by mpz (2011-08-08 13:19:15)Thanks for your help fellas, I appreciate it.
@karol
Yes, wireless dongle is up and running and I can connect to the network, I get assigned an IP and I can ping my gateway but none of the domains resolve.
@ewaller
Which client are you referring to? I tried to use NetworkManager to setup my wireless connection without success. Please elaborate and I'll post what you need. IP comes from Comcast via DHCP, it's our outside line for redundancy.
@tomk
Yes, I need 2 lines though not simultaneously. Even when I disable eth0, wlan0 doesn't resolve domain names.
Edit: Getting close
I removed immutable bit from resolv.conf to see what DNS NM would set for this connection. With it set, Comcast resolves. I added back google nameservers (so that eth0 can resolve quickly) and now both connections work but comcast resolves slowely (its nameserver is last after 2 google nameserver in the order). Is there any way to assign DNS based on interface? I checked man resolve and didn't see any options. Thanks again! -
[SOLVED-ISH] ipv6 dropping intermittently, fixed with netcfg -r
So ipv6 connectivity drops randomly, without any interruption to ipv4.
I'm not really sure what logs to look into to check what the real error is.
However, a netcfg -r eth0 immediately after it drops out reconnects me to ipv6, and nobody else on the same network+host machine has the same issue. Therefore I'm assuming that this has something to do with my system. I'm running arch in a KVM.
Any ideas? Right now I just have a script running on cron that checks if ipv6 connectivity is broken and does netcfg -r, but obviously this isn't a valid solution.
This is what my profile looks like:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='ipv6+ipv4 eth0'
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP=static
ADDR=69.85.88.224
NETMASK=24

(the gateway specified in ipv4 is the same router for ipv6)
Thanks.
[EDIT] I just checked my irc logs and it looks like it drops every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour, but there's nothing in crontab.
