As I reported in a previous thread, the inability of my laptop system to see the Ethernet controller was solved, and I was able to connect with the Internet. After shutting the machine down and booting it in the morning, I found that I am no longer able to communicate with the outside world. Network Devices now reports the controller as "not connected", meaning that it can see it. (In theprevious thread, it reported that the controller was not in hwinfo.) Running ifup on the interface produced: ***** # ifup eth0 Interface eth0 is not available. ***** I have to google for help in rectifying this. I got many hits, but nothing very helpful. How can I restore eth0? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
