wifi lenovo t410. and apps not opening

[coreplayer2]

While waiting to hear back regarding the ping and route exercise, I couldn't help notice all the unnecessary erroneous files and conflicting extensions listed in " Onboot.lst " 

I strongly recommend a clean up and suggest editing your onbool.lst to this

Code: [Select]

aterm.tcz
fltk-1.3.tcz
flwm_topside.tcz
freetype.tcz
imlib2-bin.tcz
imlib2.tcz
libfontenc.tcz
libICE.tcz
libjpeg-turbo.tcz
libpng.tcz
libSM.tcz
libX11.tcz
libXau.tcz
libxcb.tcz
libXdmcp.tcz
libXext.tcz
libXfont.tcz
libXi.tcz
libXmu.tcz
libXpm.tcz
libXrandr.tcz
libXrender.tcz
wbar.tcz
Xlibs.tcz
Xprogs.tcz
Xvesa.tcz
pci-utils.tcz
firmware-rtlwifi.tcz
rtlwifi-4.8.17-tinycore.tcz
wifi.tcz
QtWeb.tcz
glib2.tcz

Note: firmware-rtlwifi.tcz doesn't need to be listed in "onboot.lst" if  "rtlwifi-4.8.17-tinycore.tcz" extension was installed using one of the recommend methods like APPS or tce-load -wi since it is listed in rtlwifi-4.8.17-tinycore.tcz's dep file, but it will not hurt being listed either.


Also, I suggest a reboot between attempting to connect between Ethernet and Wifi.

Hey Rich

I have taken a screenshot of everything you asked. I will also print the outputs for you as requested.

/etc/resolv.conf:

Code: [Select]

search attlocal.net
nameserver 192.168.1.254

sudo ping -c3 8.8.8.8 :

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sudo ping -c3 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes

the ping command i printed is different than the screenshot, either way i still have connectivity with ' wifi ' but not the internet or repository.

route -n :

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ route -n

I copy and pasted coreplayer2's onboot.lst suggestion and now the wifi works.
Rich, for reference i will give the ping and rout -n outputs, also i will include a screenshot of what my desktop looked like when i first saw your post.

Hi aime

192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 wlan0

Having the same IP address assigned to two NICs probably caused some conflict.
