[TUT] How to start / enable networking on start up / boot. (Backtrack 4) - Mark - 13-07-2010
Backtrack 4 is here! But as you know for some strange reason 'networking' was removed from start up when you boot into Backtrack 4. This is a quick tutorial on how to enable networking in backtrack 4.
I've done this on a hard drive install and it worked flawlessly.
1) Log in to Backtrack 4, launch the terminal and type the following:
Code:
nano /root/.bash_profileYou'll be presented with a document on screen, enter the following code:
Code:
/etc/init.d/networking start
/etc/init.d/wicd startThen Ctrl + O to write out / save it.
Then Ctrl + x to exit.
What this means: "networking start" starts Ethernet or wired Internet connections and protocols and "wicd start" starts the Wireless client 'wicd' so that you can manage wireless connections.
Once you've done this, just reboot and now when you log in networking should have automatically started. :happy
