https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205697 Summary: Network port not detected on Asus A6T wth suse 10.2 Alpha 4 (64 bit). Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gdoig@pcug.org.au QAContact: qa@suse.de The network port is not detected on a Asus A6T series laptop it does NOT detect this port at all. I did a minimal kde install of suse 10.2 Alpha 4 (64 bit). The laptop details found here :- http://www.asus.com.au/products.aspx?l1=5&l2=24&l3=134&model=1185&modelmenu=1 # uname -a Linux orac 2.6.18-rc5-git6-2-default #1 SMP Fri Sep 1 22:19:04 UTC 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I use cables to connect to my ADSL modem. No wireless is used at all. Will you include a sutible driver in a future release of this distribution so the networking features can be detected and used. Also can you point me to a suitable driver for this very new model laptop where I can download, compile it, and install it manually. Also when I installed suse 10.2 Alpha 4 to this laptop I had to use the kernel switches acpi=off and nolapic to keep the suse linux o/s from randomly freezing and totally locking up the laptop. The numlock or caps lock lights would not respond at all, could not move mouse at all, my only choice was to cycle the power switch to turn off, Any clues to how I may fix this so the switches are not needed any more ?. I am happy to do more testing, and contribute. I need to know what bit to test next. Thankyou.
