Hi All,

Was wondering if others have noticed this too:

When booting and also when restarting the network service, openSUSE is
trying to get an address for an unplugged Ethernet port - resulting in
an unnecessary delay.

Turns out the network device defaults to 'activate at boot time' instead
of 'on cable connect'. I've noticed this with a clean install of beta2
and beta3.

Might be relevant: this is on a Dell Latitude laptop that has a Broadcom
(b44) nic.

Anyone else having this?

note: I've also installed the Xen packages.. could be this sets the nic
to always be active? Will check this is related on my next fresh beta4
install.

Thanks,
  Wj
