I found a very similar problem with 11.3 rc2 as well. I have a Compaq CQ60 laptop with built in wireless, bluetooth and wired ethernet port.
on a second or third reboot after loading 11.2 the ethernet connection was not up and running. My daft solution was to disconnect the cable and reconnect after 5 seconds. Network Manager then connected within 1 or 2 seconds (tried this three times to ensure this was not a fluke (ie reboot - disconnect - reconnect - good result). My assumption is that reconnecting the cable made this form of network access priority over the wireless.
I followed David Kerkhof's suggestion above (#5) and rebooted and the ethernet connection was immediately available. However, the issue with this as a solution is that right-clicking on NM in the tray shows "enable wireless" as ticked (on). The trouble is that if I do decide to use the wireless function, will I remember to re-set the suggestion David made? Answer- NO!.
UPDATE. 5 July Following this comment I rebooted today and the problem is still evident. When checking NetworkManager.state, all three lines are set to =true. Hope this helps. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
