It is indeed a wifi box, but I have unplugged the wireless adapter.
I can easily get the network adapter (Actually, both network adapters
- wired and wireless) up using static IP:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:69:40:E8:E5
inet addr:10.72.0.211 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:4750 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2087 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:39
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:560 (560.0 b) TX bytes:560 (560.0 b)
But not for dhcp.
My current theory is that it is an ipv6 problem, so I am attempting to
disable ipv6 in the kernel.
Unfortunately, modprobe -a crashes! This isn't filling me with
confidence. Remember that this is essentially a fresh debian install
off a Technologic supplied SD card.
