[opensuse-testing] 'zypper dup' to 11.2 RC1 broke the Internet connection

'zypper dup' is a convenient live distro upgrade - when it works. But on my two home machines, x86_64 and i586 respectively, this caused a broken Internet connection during/after the upgrade from 11.2 M8 to RC1. (In a previous distro upgrade to M8, this was no issue on my i586 machine).

I tried to access web pages with Firefox or Konqueror after the RC1 upgrade, but with no success - just something like 'unknown server' or 'unknown host' were reported back. Searched for 'online update' indicated that the url to the used repositories were not longer useable.

A quick look at the DHCP setup with 'yast2 network' 'seemed' to be ok. The Ethernet connection and ADSL line was ok however, and my OpenVPN connection over the ADSL-line worked as before.

I was not able to find out what was wrong. Both cases ended up with that I had to download the NET mini iso, boot the CD and made a new RC1 installation - which reestablished the Internet connection again

Similar experiences with 'zypper dup'?
As I'm quite new with using 'zypper', I wonder if I made something wrong? Are the some cleanup or rapair options to run after the distro upgrade?
Are there specific network setup parameters or config files I should have checked for?

Rgds,
Terje J. Hanssen
