David, thanks for your detailed description, my ifcfg-eth0 is pretty similar, but this is not the problem as the connection is always established quickly and stable - but only if I start 'yast network'. I even can abort the module right after initializing it. The connection seems to be activated through mere module starting.
But no chance to get it started without yast. Yast's network module start seems to trigger connection establishment.
After this initial trigger I am able to ifdown and ifup the connection deliberately. But I can't get it work without entering yast.

Nino, That's Strange indeed. Have you tried running knetworkmanager manually from konsole? The only other thoughts I have are when you establish a new connection in knetworkmanager, there is an option to 'autostart' the connection. Make sure you have that checked. Also, check /opt/kde3/env/knetworkmanager.default.sh, and it should contain: kdehome=$HOME/.kde test -n "$KDEHOME" && kdehome=`echo "$KDEHOME"|sed "s,^~/,$HOME/,"` knetworkmanager_autostart= if test ! -f $kdehome/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc; then knetworkmanager_autostart=$(. /etc/sysconfig/network/config && echo "$NETWORKMANAGER") elif test $kdehome/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc -ot /etc/sysconfig/network/config; then knetworkmanager_autostart=$(. /etc/sysconfig/network/config && echo "$NETWORKMANAGER") fi # kconfig will merge it in case we overwrite another setting if test -n "$knetworkmanager_autostart"; then echo "[General]" >> $kdehome/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc echo "Autostart=$knetworkmanager_autostart" >> $kdehome/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc fi Then to check your ~/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc (it should exist and contain information on your recent connections) If you have your card set in yast to use networkmanager, and the option that allows 'user control', then I suspect you haven't checked the 'autostart' option when configuring eth0 in knetworkmanager.
