[opensuse] For ethernet, what does "device unconfigured" mean
I have run Yast2, and all appears happy. I have looked at files in /etc/sysconfig/networking and /etc/wicked, and all appear happy in my humble opinion. What is making the decision that these devices are unconfigured. What does unconfigured mean? Is there a single field in one of the files that has been omitted? It is very frustrating to not be able to get on the net from a machine that used to have no problem. Especially since the net is required to send details to this list.

I can't tell you what's wrong. I'm running a less than a day old Leap
installation, have working ethernet, and get this:
# wicked show config
ifstatus: no matching interfaces
But, I also get this:
# rpm -qa | grep wicked
libwicked-0-6-0.6.28-3.1.x86_64
wicked-0.6.28-3.1.x86_64
wicked-service-0.6.28-3.1.x86_64
# systemctl list-unit-files | grep icked
wicked.service enabled
wickedd-auto4.service enabled
wickedd-dhcp4.service enabled
wickedd-dhcp6.service enabled
wickedd-nanny.service enabled
wickedd.service static
# cat /proc/cmdline
...ipv6.disable=1 net.ifnames=0...
# ip a

An unconfigured Ethernet device means that the system detect a hardware Ethernet device with a specific MAC address and does not find a matching configuration, ifcfg-ethX file. The udev system matches your hardware Ethernet device with the name eth1, but you do not have a file ifcfg-eth1. Same goes for your wireless device. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

How does one fix this. I do not have eth1 any more. I deleted it and started over thinking all would be set up correctly. Why does the udev system want to match Ethernet MAC address to eth1, and not use eth0? I see no reference to a MAC address in the ifcfg file. I only have a single Ethernet adapter in the laptop. Also a single wireless adapter. Is there some place I can read more about this?

what do yast say? network tab "general", is it wicked or network manager? may be the config file are not the same jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Look in /etc/udev/rules.d/ for a file 70-persistent-net.rules It is probably there assigning the MAC address you want on eth0 to eth1. Likely it has two assignment lines. Just changing the assignment on the right address, a single character edit, and deleting the other line should be all you need to do before rebooting to find what you expected in the first place. Adding a zero byte file 80-net-setup-link.rules in rules.d/ might help to avoid future perplexity.

There are just two lines in 70-persistent-net.rules. Both have an ATTR(address) entry, but the ATTR(dev_id)=="0x0 and the ATTR(type)=="1". I have forgotten how to determine the MAC address. lspci shows a lot of info, but no mac address. lsattr on the troublesome machine has entries like ------./70-persistent-net.rules while on my functioning machine I get: ---------------- ./scripts ---------------- ./if-up.d ---------------- ./if-down.d ---------------- ./providers ---------------- ./routes ---------------- ./routes.YaST2save ---------------- ./ifroute-wlp11s0 ---------------- ./ifcfg.template ---------------- ./dhcp ---------------- ./ifcfg-enp9s0 ---------------- ./ifcfg-wlp11s0 ---------------- ./config ---------------- ./ifcfg-lo Any more suggestions?

Have you tried the command "hwinfo --network" as root? On my running machine it shows all the available info on my NICs, including the "HW Address:" which is the MAC address. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
