https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778434 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778434#c0 Summary: network with wired interface managed by networkmanager is unreliable Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: f.de.kruijf@gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0 I am running in VirtualBox an openSUSE 12.2 system which is up-to-date today September 1, 2012. So I have a picture of a UTP connector in the system tray from the applet-networkmanagement. Regularly, about once per minute, I see a red square with a white cross appear in the icon, followed by a red circle with a slanted bar through it, followed by a white bar at the bottom. Having a ping to the router running in a console in the VM, I miss 2 or 3 pings with the error message: ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable The network for the VM is set in bridge mode. The network supports both IPv4 and IPv6. The following is the output of "ip addr" 1: lo: mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 08:00:27:24:85:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.82/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0 inet6 2001:980:64c7:1:a00:27ff:fe24:85f8/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 5191sec preferred_lft 3586sec inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe24:85f8/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Also a ping6 to the router and to the host of the VM shows the same behavior, about each minute the connection is down for a few seconds. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above Actual Results: The connection is not stable. Expected Results: The connection should stay stable. -- 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.
