Hello,
Not sure if my problem is related to the above bug. Am using the x86 (32-bit)
version of openSUSE 11 & the following relates to that.
The problem is as follows- (mentioned between the "=====" lines for
sake of clarity-
===============================================================================
On openSUSE 11.0 with updates (as of 27 Aug 08), the net connection using a DSL
Router connected through a USB port (detected as eth1: TI NDIS USB Device,
where TI = Texas Instruments) worked fine till now (installed a week ago) ; but
by error I altered the connection settings to include DHCP (i.e. obtain DNS
Name addresses via DHCP). Now, I cannot configure it connect using a static IP
& using the DNS Servers that the ISP provides.
Now, the 'Update DNS data via DHCP' box remains checked (it is greyed out, as
seen in the picture) & I cannot connect to the web. The screenshot is that of
the Yast Network Configuration screen with the error is here -

I have a feeling that if I can get rid of the DHCP-enable option (the
grayed-out button in the pict in url above), then after changing to static IP &
DNS (ie I would enter them manually from provided by ISP), it would resolve the
problem, since the past week, I had net access with the static IP option). Any
suggestions/further steps on how to resolve this?
PS:
- On shutting down the system yesterday, there was a message stating
the eth1 (TI NDIS USB Device) connection was not detected/changed &
that I should file a bugzilla report. It scrolled out too fast for to
note the exact message.
- I have not added any additional hardware or made any significant
system changes other checking the DHCP one (obtain IP Address & update
DNS address via DHCP) by mistake; that I can't seem to reverse now.
- eth0 is the inbuilt ethernet card (mcp73) of the mainboard (nvidia 610i
chipset). I do not use this for networking or connecting to the net.
================================================================================
Thanks,
