Solid a bit wobbly

I originally posted this on gentoo-users but got no replies.
I have been playing with the solid command since various KCM modules don't show anything. "solid-hardware list" shows no processor information and "solid-network listdevices" just hangs. My processor and NIC are bog-standard and should present no problems. The package is compiled with options (use flags) disable-networkmanager, disable-wicd because the machine is basically a server. Does solid actually need a network manager? TIA -Robin -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Atwood.

Inspect the output of HAL (I think it's lshal) and see what it's reporting for your CPU. If you don't enable one of the two current network management backends (NM or WICD) then how do you expect to get functionality? You should be able to see the network devices using solid-hardware. If not inspect the output of HAL again to see if it's reporting anything.

This a Gentoo box and the network set-up is done via init scripts. I would expect the information to be obtained from ifconfig, route, etc. Looking at Hal output I see nothing about Core2Duo, which is the processor type, so maybe it is a Hal problem. I just installed wicd and also got a lot of wifi stuff I don't need, and it just caused trouble. I guess this is a "never mind" situation! :) -Robin -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Atwood.
