In the past I installed MOL on my Ubuntu partition and had trouble networking from Ubuntu itself. That is, until I stumbled on the following solution. It only applies if you added additional programs for tunneling your network connection to MOL.
If you're running Linux on your Mac and decide to
install MOL and you wish to activate networking, the installation of
ipmasq,
dnsmasq, and
dhcpd could prevent your Linux box from having an active network connection upon bootup. This is due to
ipmasq requiring a restart with root privileges.
To prevent these three programs from starting up when you boot up and have them only execute when you launch MOL, you will need to do the following at the command line:
Code:
$ sudo update-rc.d -f dnsmasq remove
$ sudo update-rc.d -f ipmasq remove
$ sudo update-rc.d -f dhcpd remove
However, there remains one other item related to
ipmasq. Install
sysv-rc-conf using your favorite package manager and launch it from the CLI.
Now look for "ipmasq-km$" (obviously truncated for ipmasq-kmod) and disable it.
Do not change anything else if you don't understand what you are doing. Reboot your box. You should have normal connectivity upon logging in and you can still launch MOL and get online from there as well.
