After installation, the network port eth0 should be reconfigured from DHCP to statical ip address. This seems to work as espected, but after closing YaST, the network port is gone - only lo port available. rcnetwork restart or reboot does not help, only a manual "ifup eth0" brings up again the port. Possible solution/workaround: Do not reconfigure eth0 with edit. 1. Delete eth0 2. Close/Reopen YaST 3. Add eth0 with statical settings After these three steps, eth0 is still up an running. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSuSE with "automated settings" -> eth0 will set up as DHCP port 2. Try to reconfigure eth0 with traditional method (ifup) and "edit" port 3. Close YaST 4. eth0 is gone Actual Results: Deleting eth0, close/open YaST and add eth0 can be used as workaround. Expected Results: editing a network port should not break its functionality Severity "Normal" because there is a workaround for me. -- 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.
