Hi Kevin, The problem is that the driver will not be put into the /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-bus-pci* file so the Value : MODULE will have no attribut e.a will be empty. Since i was to lazy to find a better approach ( I think the main problem is the time it takes the tg3 module to initialzie the driver ) i use the following post script in the autoyast.xml : echo "INFO: Setting missing module entry in /etc/sysconfig/hardware for broadcom network card" cd /etc/sysconfig/hardware for i in hwcfg-bus-pci* ; do perl -p -i -e s/"MODULE=''"/"MODULE='tg3'"/ $i done cd - HTH Hajo BTW: If you have an working grafic driver please let me know by P.M. Right now i use a version from http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/i810_drv.o ============================ Hans-Joachim Ehlers UNIX Systems Engineer EUMETSAT Am Kavalleriesand, 31 64295, Darmstadt, Germany Tel : +49 6151 807-7307 mailto:hansjoachim.ehlers@eumetsat.int http://www.eumetsat.int

I have installed Suse 9.0 on a Dell GX520. The installer picked up my onboard NIC (Broadcom NetXTreme 57xx Gigabit Controller) and I can see it and check the values in the YaST control centre. The problem is I can t connect to the internet. I can ping 127.0.0.1<http://127.0.0.1/>, but no other machines. I get "network is unreachable" errors. I get the same message if I use DHCP or static IP address. I turned on the debug value in the network/config file and it gave me some extra debug info on boot up. The following is a copy (typed) of the boot.msg eth0 ifup DEBUG eth0 -o onboot rc ifup HWDESC=eth0 CONFIG=eth0 INTERFACE=nointerface ifup could not get a valid interface name -> skipped (returned 7) failed To make matters worse, I m a newbie. Any ideas?
