Andreas, could you please verify if the freeze also happens if you start NetworkManager without having a frontend running (just kill KNetworkManager or nm-applet before starting NM)?
Here is what I did: I used Yast2/network to disable networkmanager start. Reboot, inserted PCI card. Closed KNetworkmanager. Verified, that no network-manager process remains: "ps -Aef | grep -i netw" gives me one dhcpd process only (eth0 is configured and has an IP address via DHCP). Then I start "NetworkManager" as root from a shell. It takes around 2 seconds, then the system is frozen. Netconsole: I was not able to set this up. On the receiving machine (IP 192.168.178.21), I called "netcat -l -p 6666 -u" as root. On the sending machine (the freezing one, IP 192.168.178.33) I entered "modprobe netconsole 6666@192.168.178.33/eth0,6666@192.168.178.21/" I found in a blog that "ifconfig eth0 promisc ; ifconfig eth0 -promisc" should send some messages. But there were none. Even observing "eth0" using wireshark did not list any packages to 192.168.178.21. The firewall was shut down. Obviously I am doing something wrong here. IP 33 is connected via ethernet to a wlan router (the only ethernet port) and IP 21 uses wlan. Therefore I omitted the MAC address setting in the netconsole start, they wouldn't see each other's MAC address anyway. Asking for advice on IRC didn't help either. So if you really require the netconsole messages, it would be nice if there were some ability to chat at IRC at get some advice. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
