Enable wired connection

prince2phor59

Hello, I use a Ugreen Ethernet Adapater USB (my Vivobook doesn't have an Ethernet port as well).

I have to connect it by "Enable" in the Mate panel.

How to make it automatic when the desktop opens? Thanks in advance.

RodMyers

did you boot with the adapter plugged in?

If, so. that would normally mean not recognized. But someone with more knowledge will pop in

Yes I keep the adapter plug in most of the time. That won't be so annoying if I have to click "Enable"... I mean if there's no fix for that.

You probably have to add it to /etc/rc.conf to enable on boot

Type 'ifconfig' in the terminal to find the name of the device i.e. re0 or the like

Then add this line to /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_<name of your device>="DHCP"
i.e. ifconfig_re0="DHCP"

By typing:

sudo (or doas) sysrc ifconfig_<name of your device>="DHCP"

Reboot your system.

This is FreeBSD specific, but I'm assuming should work on Ghost.

ifconfig =
ue0: flags=1008843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=60009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> ether 6c:1f:f7:5a:9a:b0 inet 192.168.1.21 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>) status: active nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

So, it's ue0 : I add only that line? in /etc/rc.conf

ifconfig_ue0="DHCP"

That is probably the bug I have fixed in the NetworkMgr devd support. I had a similar issue. I will ensure that the fix is included in the next update.

prince2phor59

ericbsd You mean the minor upgrade FreeBSD 14.4?

pugwall

prince2phor59

Yes, that'd be it (if no other interfaces connected).

I'm pretty new to FreeBSD/GhostBSD myself, but that should enable it each time you boot. Worth a try anyway.

prince2phor59

I did it, but no change. Enable is for ethernet as well, and enable wifi 1 is the wireless network as well.

None of them connect automatically.

Bummer. I guess it's Ghost specific, as mentioned above. I'm currently on FreeBSD with vanilla MATE, so I'll butt out. I guess delete that line in case of conflicts and wait for the update.

prince2phor59

OK that doesn't matter. What I'd like most to get to work is wifi and bluetooth, so I could get rid of Linux.
