I have installed a SuSE 8.0 in a notebook thinkpad iSeries with a card Network PCMCIA-Realtek8139, but don´t work.
1) "rcnetwork restart" show me this: Setting up network interfaces: lo done eth-pcmcia skipped eth-pcmcia-0 skipped INFO: Dont worry about skipped interfaces; they will be set up dynamically by service pcmcia, hotplug or when dialing.
but me never achievement to see this lifted interface...
2) "ifconfig" only show me this: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
but not the eth-pcmcia interface.
3) and de Console show me this: Apr 16 01:34:51 lnote ifup: Configuration 'eth-pcmcia' has STARTMODE=hotplug: -> skipped Apr 16 01:34:51 lnote ifup: As we are called from rcnetwork we do not set it up, because Apr 16 01:34:51 lnote ifup: it was not set up manually or by hotplug before. Apr 16 01:34:51 lnote ifup: Configuration 'eth-pcmcia-0' has STARTMODE=hotplug: -> skipped Apr 16 01:34:51 lnote ifup: As we are called from rcnetwork we do not set it up, because Apr 16 01:34:51 lnote ifup: it was not set up manually or by hotplug before.
What can it be happening?
<snip> Try the following: ifconfig eth-pcmcia-0 eth0 up ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 ( to assign ip addresss) dhcpcd eth0 to obatain an ipaddress from dhcp server. LW999
