Did you specify the mac address for each interface or put aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff?
You might also need to reboot for the changes to work.

Did both.
Can you post the contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules just to be sure. Also, can you post the results form ifconfig -a.

Can you post the results from iwconfig as well?

Also, if it means anything, I had to run dhcpcd again when i booted my netbook back up.
I think your issue is that you put caps in the mac address. IIRC, udev doesn't like that.
Here's what it should look like
[code]
SUBSYSTEM="net", ATTR{address}=="00:25:b3:53:38:c6", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM="net", ATTR{address}=="00:25:56:7f:5c:23", NAME="wlan0"
[/code]

I did that(and rebooted again), but nothing changed.

Also, how can I stop XFCE from opening 3 terminal windows when I start it?
Ello guys. My wireless isn't working on archbang. It works on Ethernet though. Any advice? My wireless card is RTL8192SE and I am using a toshiba satellite l670-1dr.
ifconfig shows that I have eth0 and lo.
Any help?
I just found your problem.
You put 1 "=" after SUBSYSTEM instead of 2
Should be
[code]
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:25:b3:53:38:c6", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:25:56:7f:5c:23", NAME="wlan0"
[/code]
As for the terminal windows. Those are launched in your "~/.xinitrc" By default it launches 3 terminals and xclock. You can clear out the entries that do that. If you don't have an "~/.xinitrc" then you need to create it and the terminals should go away.

That worked, but there's still the issue of my wireless not working. :saddowns:
[editline]7th May 2011[/editline]
Is there something special I need to do to make it start?
You need to connect to a network. There's a good guide on how to do it on the arch wiki.
You'll need a network manager if you don't want to do it manually every time.
I think you should go with wicd since it works with about anything.
Here's the archwiki page for it: [url]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wicd[/url]
Will it be able to connect automatically? The netbook is for somebody who knows nothing about computers, let alone Linux.

From what I read the driver should come with the kernel.
Run the following and post the results:
[code]
ifconfig -a
iwconfig
[/code]
The only problem you might get is that the thing might want firmware.
If you run
[code]
ifconfig <yourWirelessInterface> up
dmesg
[/code]
And it says something in the lines of:
[code]
rtl819xU:FirmwareRequest92S(): failed
[/code]
then you need firmware

[QUOTE=Biotic;29677661]Will it be able to connect automatically? The netbook is for somebody who knows nothing about computers, let alone Linux.[/QUOTE]
Yes it will. When you run wicd-client you can set it to connect to a network automatically.
Remember to add wicd-client to the autostart thing xfce has to that the person the netbook is for will just have to click the icon.
Thanks man it worked!
[editline]7th May 2011[/editline]
I ran pacman -Syu and updated, now it doesn't detect any wireless networks. :sigh:
There was a kernel update in the list.
I forgot to tell you about this. You need to recompile the module every time you update the kernel. This is because the module was built for that specific kernel if you update they stop being compatible.
I would suggest you install an AUR helper like yaourt that was reinstalling the driver is one command away.
Thanks, I thought that was it but I wanted to make sure before I did anything.
to answer the question posed earlier in the thread, my first linux experience was with ubuntu 10.04 last year (i hated it)

Do this.
Also, be sure to keep a copy of the PKGBUILD and all relevant asserts (or another method of connection) in case you need to rebuild the module without an internet connection (For example, power outage immediately after kernel update)

[QUOTE=wlzshroom;29680771]to answer the question posed earlier in the thread, my first linux experience was with ubuntu 10.04 last year (i hated it)[/QUOTE]
10.04 wasn't too bad. I sorta liked 10.10, too, with its new default theme.
[editline]8th May 2011[/editline]
...Although I'll have to say 10.10 wasn't exactly all that stable. Gwibber is a fine example of broken, yet shipped software.
I'm compiling a multiboot USB for my mom to try out a few different distros and DEs.
So far I have Ubuntu 11.04 and Linux Mint 10 KDE edition.
Any other good (user friendly, stable, relatively complete) distros to put on it?
And please don't go "ARCH :downs: CLI MASTERRACE" cuz uh I'd rather not teach my mom all that shit.
Is it possible to create a liveCD from an installed distro?
So for example, if i installed ubuntu, set it up with everything I want/need and then make a liveCD from it so I can take it with me where ever I go.
There was some tool to do that, but can't remember what it was.

Arch LXDE master race.
It's actually pretty simple, especially if you use lxlauncher for the desktop. I think it's the default desktop of the distro shipped with the EEE PC.
How would I go about connecting an external monitor? This specific one is a tv connecting through my nvidia card's hdmi port. GRUB appears on it when it's plugged in before boot, but then it switches to the laptop screen. Not sure where to look. Can't find my way around the os yet :)
Ubuntu 11.04, the proprietary nvidia drivers are installed.
Menu → Settings → Screen/Monitor/Display (Dunno the exact word) Settings
Or something like that.
I just tried setting up Arch linux, and once i had it all installed I tried to install LXDE following the official tutorial:
[url]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDE#Installation[/url]
but when i tried to put in the command
pacman -S lxde
It just said:
LXDE package not found, searching for group arch linux.
So, is there a program to manage the Debian menu in Crunchbang? It's pretty cluttered up right now and I remember the ability to manage it locally was in some program in Ubuntu.

Not alacarte, either.

Hey are steam games compatible with Ubuntu? I want to give it a shot.
[QUOTE=Zoran;29711582]Hey are steam games compatible with Ubuntu? I want to give it a shot.[/QUOTE]
Depends on the game. Steam itself won't cause any problems though.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;29712180]Depends on the game. Steam itself won't cause any problems though.[/QUOTE]
Although it may be a bit buggy. But it works.
Some games works, and some don't, and some work completely magically.
[QUOTE=Zoran;29711582]Hey are steam games compatible with Ubuntu? I want to give it a shot.[/QUOTE]
through wine, but again it depends on the game
