Hello, I have a 19" system here which I put together myself. Network SK-9821 Gigabit with copper from Syskonnect SuSE Kernel 2.4.19
My problem is that I can not get the SK-9821 Gigabit card to work. I can see and configure the card in YaST. But I keep getting the following error when booting: "ifup: Could not get valid interface name:> Skipped"
The card is configured as eth0. I can not ping the system, it tells me the network can not be reached.
Can you do an 'ifconfig eth0 up'? Yes it tells me "eth0: unknown interface: No such device"
When I configured the on-board Pro/100 it worked just fine. I have tried reinstalling SuSE, but it did not help. /var/log/messages shows nothing on network. /var/log/warn shows the "ifup.." error, but that is all. I had talked to Syskonnect, they told me there were no plans on a driver for this kernel.
Not here: http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/d0102_driver.html ?
No, I have tried these drivers though and had no luck.

After upgradeing a package or two thu yast I suddenly found my /etc/modules.conf filehad the eth0 line set to "off" instead of the module name that had been there previously. Luckily I had a backup and was able to restore. While the eth0 was set to off it exhibited the same symptoms reported here. -- _________________________________________________ John Andersen / Juneau Alaska
