on two independent laptops and a desktop, I found that if networkmanager is installed, the system does NOT use any of the statical netwrk settings. E.g. Even if traditional ifup/down is selected, DHCP is used.

If you remove networkmanager with zypper, all over sudden all works as it should.

When use NetworkManager to manage network the config file in /etc/sysconfig/network/ doesn't work, you need set static ip address in NetworkManager with nm-connection-editor. If with ifup/down, if you set use STATIC in ifcfg-eth* file, it shouldn't use DHCP, or it should be a bug. So could you describe what's your issue? BTW, you can try the GM version now. -- 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.

I just ran a 'zypper dup' from openSUSE 12.1 x64 to 12.3 x64 on a Proliant DL360 G5 server. While I normally have NICs configured for bonding, on this particular machine, I had only eth0 configured (which somewhat simplifies the setup in that regard). In addition, I had approximately 50 additional IPv4 addresses defined for that single interface, and no IPv6 addresses (though IPv6 *was* enabled under 12.1). After the upgrade, the network settings appeared to have remained intact, i.e., only eth0 was configured, static IP, all additional addresses in place, gateway & DNS were correct. However, the system would boot looking for a DHCP server. Manually running ifup eth0 would temporarily gain connectivity using the configured addresses, but the DHCP client would continue to retry, even though no interface had been configured to use it, and once it attempted a retry, eth0 went down. Instead of uninstalling NetworkManager, I uninstalled dhcp-client (via zypper; which also uninstalled NetworkManager). This worked around the problem. I've attached an extract from /var/log/messages, which shows the initial IP configuration, the DHCP requests, my subsequent ifup, and the DHCP requests. There is a considerable amount of other noise in the snippet, but I wanted it to be a contiguous section. I'm still not sure what triggered the change after the upgrade.
