Same here, is reproduceable if you have a "bond" configuration (normal hardware configuration will work) (according to andrei at mailinglist users@lists.opensuse.org) long (about one year) not updated tumbleweed was running fine. then update to tumbleweed 20221228 and network is not working. now at 20230102 still same. here what i have, and a workaround later in this comment: if it is working, it looks like this: ================================================ wicked ifstatus all lo up link: #1, state up type: loopback config: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo leases: ipv4 static granted leases: ipv6 static granted addr: ipv4 127.0.0.1/8 [static] addr: ipv6 ::1/128 [static] enp3s0 enslaved link: #2, state up, mtu 1500, master bond0 type: ethernet, hwaddr 18:67:b0:b9:a6:58 config: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-enp3s0 wlp2s0 up link: #3, state up, mtu 1500 type: wireless, state established, ssid XAuaLiwaru9835, WPA2-PSK+WPA-PSK config: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlp2s0 bond0 up link: #4, state up, mtu 1500 type: bond, mode active-backup, hwaddr 18:67:b0:b9:a6:58 config: compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bond0 leases: ipv4 static granted addr: ipv4 192.168.0.23/24 [static] route: ipv4 default via 192.168.0.99 [static] ==================================== it is configured that if cable (enp3s0) is plugged in, it will use cable, and if not plugged in it will switch to whireless (wlp2s0) ==================================== if its not working (before starting manually) it has the status: "device-not-running" for enp3s0 wlp2s0 and bond0 ==================================== after playing around i found out that the command: ip link set enp3s0 up ip link set wlp2s0 up will bring the network cards UP, but this i have to enter manually, AND wicked ifup enp3s0 wicked ifup wlp2s0 will NOT bring the network cards UP.
