Haven't plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop for a while - today I
did. Wirelss has been working flawlessly.
Plugging a wire in however refuses to connect - the error in journal is:
.. dhclient[30318]: execve
(/usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dhcp-client.action, ...): No such file or
directory
Which is correct. In fact the only script in there with dhcp is
nm-dhcp-helper. When connected via wifi and checking to see what is
running this script is used:
ps -eaf | egrep dhcp
root 605 555 0 18:53 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dhclient -d -sf
/usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dhcp-helper -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlp3s0.pid
-lf
/var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-226bfd76-9c49-43fd-8dff-bf6e0809313c-wlp3s0.lease
-cf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-wlp3s0.conf wlp3s0
So the problem seems to only happen for the wired interface.
I -know- this used to work fine, but unfortunately I have no idea when
it stopped.
Any suggestions how to get wired working again? I tried on 2 different
laptops - same problem.
Thanks for any advice.
