This is an ASUS BIOS issue, which will not be fixed with a workaround in the kernel. Read: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/10/14/343648 ASUS A7N8X, which embed 2 gigabyte network controllers is a macless motherboard. ASUS gave a procedure to generate a new firmware which embed MAC addresses. I did it, but the motherboard does not seem to start properly: the MAC address appears to be lost, and so, this is appearing as a new ethernet interface to udev. As eth0 name was previously used, udev rename it to an alias to initial eth0 name. I was roughly dealing with this problem in openSUSE previous versions. I bought a small additional network card (Netgear FA311) to avoid this annoying problem although this prevented me to perform network boot. I worked like that with openSUSE 12.2. Now, openSUSE 12.3 brings a new version of udev and I think my problem is more related to bug 821879 (I believe). Anyway, I have reinstalled openSUSE 12.2 and have to stick with that to have my small server up. (There is no desktop, nor X11 graphical interface, only text console). Sorry, but I am not able to play with openSUSE 12.3 at the moment. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
