           Summary: network interface not set up during boot after upgrade
                    from 10.2 to 10.3
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: walter.haidinger@xxxxxx

After upgrading from openSUSE 10.2 to 10.3, the /etc/init.d/network script
fails to configure the network interface (traditional method, no
Networkmanager). It has worked without problems under 10.2.

The script times out waiting for the mandatory device eth1 now:
 eth1  device: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 13).
 eth1  DHCP client NOT running
 eth1  is down

And indeed, as ifconfig shows, the interface isn't up.
However, after booting, 'rcnetwork start' or 'yast2 network' works.

Unfortunately /var/log/messages isn't very helpful other than:
  sgke eth1: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex
  ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth1: links becomes ready
  skge eth1: disabling interface
Please note that there is no delay in the above syslog entries (i.e. same
timestamp). The interface seems to be brought down right after it was brought
up.

Since the above does not provide much details, I'd appreciate for some hints 
to further diagnose the problem. Thanks!
