Okay. Can you post the last 20-30 lines of the 'dmesg' output? Either to pastebin.com or directly to the list. I want to see if the module complained about anything when you loaded it.

That didn't look like the last 20-30 lines, but like some of the first - there was no mention of the module being loaded.
Also, what does "ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg*" say? I'm slowly beginning to suspect the card may not have been configured at all.

Okay.
How is it possible that it was never configured?
I don't know, but "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth". Anyway, we've checked the following: 1) that the NIC exists and works. 2) that the module exists and can be loaded. (I think) 3) that you have a udev rule for giving it a device name 4) that you have a network config (ifcfg-eth0) for it. And yet when you run "ifup eth0" is says "Interface eth0 is not available". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
