Our QA has confirmed that the kernel RPM provided above fixes the issue.

OK, I added it to our Kernel tree for openSUSE 11.3.

But we see another issue related to dynamic IP assignment. According to /etc/sysconfig/network/config file, by default NetControl is enabled. which takes care of network setup. But once the IP address is assigned to an interface, and then if we plug out the network cable, the IP address isn't detached from that interface.

This creates problem when we again plug in the cable back. We have worked-around it temporarily using NETWORKMANAGER=yes in the config file. Is this really a BUG?

NetControl doesn't monitor the link status like NetworkManager. If you need a new IP you need to: $ ifrenew eth0 So, I don't think it is a bug. If you don't agree please file a bug against yast. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
