Re: [SLE] Problems with network after installing 8.2
Problem is solved now by using Yast2 and configuring the bootloader with
acpi=off.
For some reason, when I gave this at the boot prompt it didn't work, that
confused me a little.
However everything is fine now - thanks for your help.

Hi again,
Sorry if this is a stupid question. Have you enabled your ethernet-card using yast2? Sometimes deleting it and enabling it again it works. Don't ask me why.

Dear Keith, Putting the "SOLVED" word in the subject line helps all others on the list notice that there is a solution. :o) Now for a comment to the LIST about this solution: Boy is it going to be so very quiet here when this ACPI= on/off flaw is fixed/retired in the future releases!!!

Well, PeterB, when you get all the hardware makers to implement a good version of ACPI in their motherboards, then you will see the problem go away! The problem is not in software, but the hardware as some chipset makers do it right, some half right and some just crappy! That's where you need to look or complain for your fix.
