On Sat, 10 Feb 2007 17:51:44 -0500, "Richard Cromi" took time to say the following: (^_^)Installed openSUSE 10.2, dual-booting with Windows XP. Installation was (^_^)fine with no errors. (^_^) (^_^)I cannot connect to Internet when using SUSE. Motherboard has two onboard (^_^)NICs. (^_^) (^_^)In YaST, Network Cards, both NICs are detected and configured with same (^_^)settings, showing as eth-bus devices 0 and 1. Both are set to be enabled on (^_^)boot. Have tried setting them as Internal and External devices. Ifconfig (^_^)only displays eth2 and the loopback interfaces. There isn't an eth2 device (^_^)installed, so I don't know where this is coming from and eth2 doesn't (^_^)display in YaST. Cable modem is connected to eth1. (^_^) (^_^)I'd like to have both Ethernet ports working, but at this point would settle (^_^)for just one that can pick up its DHCP address and connect to the Internet. (^_^) (^_^)Any ideas? (^_^)TIA While I'm sure there may be an easier way, but why not remove one, setup the remailing one. When that is up an running, install the second one and let SuSe detect it and you can set that one up. Just a suggestion!

I would advice you to run YAST, and check if your NIC got detected there. when you finish looking through the details of your NICs , it'll automatically start itself

Installed openSUSE 10.2, dual-booting with Windows XP. Installation was fine with no errors.

Richard Cromi email: rcromi@neo.rr.com someone (at suse ?) thought it would be cute to increment ethxx numbers in a system as they are installed!!!!just to make it even more crazy, they keep it secret from yast and do not cross check if a particular mac address has been assigned already!!!!!! so, first delete all nics found in yast and exit the nic setup routine. then open the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistant_names.rules" and clobber all the eth assignments. save the file, go back to yast, install your nics and enjoy real eth numbers and working network cards. i wish i knew more about it, but i do not know what script(s?) does the dirty deed or why. someone should treat it as a bug, because it can drive someone crazy when he/she removes and reinstalls a nic and the eth--no gets incremented each time!!!
