What do I need to do in order to enable eth0 automatically after a reboot?
System info: Subset of SuSE 9.1 Professional (customized package list installed via auto install CD), 2.6.9-rc4 kernel from kernel.org with the tiocgdev patch (supplied by SuSE in kernel-source-2.6.4-52.rpm). Tested on two Dell PowerEdge servers with the same result: one using a Broadcom BCM5704 NIC (tg3 driver; compiled into the kernel) and one using an Intel 82544EI NIC (e1000 driver; compiled as a module). /var/log/YaST2/badlist-initial is empty.
Here's what I had to do to make sure my Dell laptop wifi card is initialized on boot. 1. In /etc/sysconfig/kernel, set MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="driverloader" Yours may be "ndiswrapper" depending on which wrapper you may be using, if any, then, 2. /etc/init.d/boot.local, add ifup wlan0. Save 'em and try a reboot to see if it works. OR You may need to simply add ifup eth0 to your /etc/init.d/boot.local I hope this will help you get there. Richard At any rate, this will give you something to think about.
