The drive was wiped clean of Windows and the "hidden" partition, and then partition by openSUSE's install process. All items were detected and the installation moved along in, what appeared to be, a successful fashion. During the installation, the netbook was plugged into a home network (IP range: 192.168.1.x - Class C) with a hardwire cable, with DHCP services running. No updates were offered at the end of the installation. The system rebooted and asked me to remove the memory stick. When it booted up, we were in X (X-Windows) and ready to go! I launched Firefox and ... and ... what? No network!!! I go into YAST to check it all out and when I check everything it appears to be autosensed ok! I click on OK and have it continue and during the final phases of the YAST Network setup, I receive an error: No network running That's it! No details, nuthin! I go back into Windows and launch a terminal session. An IFCONFIG reports the following: eth0: No IP address info of any kind lo: Of course this is installed ... wlan0: Non existent! This one didn't even appear!! I would appreciate some assistance/help in fixing this ... My 13yr old son wants openSUSE "like his Daddy" has on his notebook! Thanks guys! -rAllcorn- Richard A. Allcorn email: rAllcorn@uucpnet.org or: richAllcorn@ITNetworking.info my cell: (512)844-7424 P.S. I am a "BIG" supporter of SuSE LINUX, even before NOVELL! See my QRef site for LINUX: http://www.uucpnet.org/LINUX Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. I tried another re-install, formatting/wiping everything (nothing saved) 2. I can "manually" enter IFCONFIG stuff and it will "ping" the network stuff! 3. Actual Results: The system will not "see" the network, either with hardware (100BaseT class C LAN) cable or with wireless (not even lighting up!)* *I have noticed that you have to take the driver, once it's autosensed, and take it back to a legacy driver for the wireless to work Expected Results: A fully working system, with no flaws ... in true SuSE style! The system should have full networking capabilities, and come up with the NetworkManager auto-sensing the eth0 port and allowing me full access to the Internet. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
