https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=310667 Summary: Unused WLAN card blocks Internet via ethernet Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 3 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nordhaus@informatik.hu-berlin.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I had the following setup for my network: - eth0: Ethernet card, default config (=use DHCP), connected to router via cable - eth1: WLAN card, default config (=use DHCP), no changes by me Eth1 could not get a connection because I did not configure any encryption keys. The system could get a valid IP address for eth0 via DHCP, but I still could not connect anywhere. The reason was that routing was not correctly set up, I had beta3:~ # route Kernel IP Routentabelle Ziel Router Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo I got this fixed by setting the WLAN card to "Never activate" in YaST (instead of "Activate on boot"), essentially deactivating the WLAN card. Right after finishing YaST I had the following routing information: beta3:~ # route Kernel IP Routentabelle Ziel Router Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 88-xx-xx-xx-dy * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 88-xx-xx-xx- 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Then I set the WLAN card to "activate on boot" again and rebooted. Now, eth0 was not working again. Effectively, this means that the unconfigured WLAN card kept me from using my normal ethernet cable. I recall having a similar problem in Suse 10.0. Back then I fixed it by putting the following line into /etc/sysconfi/network/ifcfg-wlan-id-foo-bar: DHCLIENT_PRIMARY_DEVICE=yes -- 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.
