hello, SuSE 9.3 x86_64 system: Gigabyte ga-k8n ultra-9 Asus 6800 EN Nvidia pci-x video 1 GB Ocz 2-3-2-5 RAM hd: WD 2500JD SATA (JBOD nv_sata_0) I'm having trouble setting up the two LAN devices in Yast network devices. In the manual, it shows the LAN1 (Marvel) as connected to the (faster) pci-x bus. I only want to connect a single cable at this time. When I configure both devices, the system rolls over: I lose SAMBA and bootup behavior is inconsistent. If you are going to setup both devices, what setting do you give "device activation" in the "detailed network settings" window? I tried hotplug for both (bad), "at boot" for LAN1 and hotplug for LAN2 (bad). I finally decided to disable LAN2 in the bios and delete it in Yast Network devices. Then LAN1 is set to activate at boot. This solution (to disable LAN2) seems extreme. I'm guessing I ran into trouble since at one point I gave both devices the same settings. If I tried to change them something wouldn't reset. This is the first board I've setup with dual onboard LAN -- what a head-ache. thanks for your comments, Mark Pryor (the one with no political ambitions) __________________________________ Yahoo!
