Well yes, and why again can't yast show the network card's name?
It is because network card's name is read from /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-* file. There you have (among others) key such as NAME='Realtek RT8139'. This ifcfg file is created by create_interface script at the beginning of 2nd stage and the NAME key is not there simply because create_interface does not put it there. create_interface only dumps BOOTPROTO, UNIQUE and STARTMODE keys to ifcfg file (see initial bugreport), since these are easily readable from install.inf. This is the very minimum for succesful network start. If NAME key is not there, network starts, but in Internet test dialog, an user sees generic string "Unknown device" instead of real name of his/hers NIC or modem. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
