[ug-bosug] nwam does not give me ip via ethernet, works only via wireless

[Manish Chakravarty]

Hi BOSUG,

 

Please have a look at this:

 

-bash-3.2$ /sbin/ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232
index 1

        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

bcme0: flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 4

        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0

wpi0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500
index 5

        inet 10.1.1.197 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255

lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252
index 1

        inet6 ::1/128

 

 

In short, nwam does not give me an ip on my ethernet port. Wireless however
works pretty well.

I have tried disabling/enabling nwam repeatedly with 

svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam

svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:nwam

 

This does not seem to change anything

 

At booting time, I do see a kernel message saying " 100 Mbps link up Full
Duplex" so there is no problem with the network/cabling.

 

So nwam not be shifting to the Ethernet interface automatically (when it is
plugged in) ?  Is that not the expected  behavior? Or am I doing something
wrong here?

 

I am running SXDE 1/08
