https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=273799 Summary: knetworkmanager always picks the usb-device although it is not active Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sven.burmeister@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de When I start knetworkmanager it always picks the usb-device (Genesys Logic) It claims that it has an IP (169.254.127.207) and ignores the eth0 device which does have an active link, i.e. the network-cable is plugged-in. /etc/sysconfig/network does not show any config-files for a usb-device. usb0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 0A:0C:5E:16:FA:71 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:8 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) -- 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.

I tried to find a driver on the net and XP recognised the Host-to-host connection, yet that did not do anything on the linux site.
