Need FIX for: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
Post 302284078 by Pudnik on Wednesday 4th of February 2009 05:12:28 PM

Problem...SOLVED for everyone :)
...I figured out what this is. When RTNETLINK tells you that one or more 'answers' are invalid, what it *really* means is that one or more lines in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth# configuration file, where # is 0,1,2, and the like, are incorrect.
So, THE FIX IS:
...as root, edit the file and comment out just about all the lines in it except the type, device, and hwaddr lines, save it, and then wait a few moments. If it comes back with a 'you are connected' message, then one or more lines in the file that you commented out are incorrect or unnecessary for the type of connection you've got.

ifcfg-wireless
IFCFG(5) Network configuration IFCFG(5) NAME
ifcfg-wireless - wireless LAN network interface configuration SYNOPSIS
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-* /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-type-wlan GENERAL
Wireless networks need some additional configuration data compared to ethernet ones. Therefore additional variables for ifcfg files were introduced. All wireless LAN specific variables are described in the ifcfg template file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template. It is pos- sible to configure more than one wireless network accepted for association. To achieve this add suffix _1 to all wireless variables for the second network, _2 for the this, and so on. Example: WIRELESS_ESSID_1="second_net" You can have up to ten wireless networks configured. Some wireless variables are not applicable to a single wireless network but are global to the interface. The description of the variable points this out. BUGS
