I think the problem stems from that udev tries to rename the interface to one of the usual crazy names (eth5; no idea how it comes up with that) and that fails and then rcnetwork decides to down all other interfaces.

AFAIK there is no rcnetwork / ifup / ifdown code that "decides to down all other interfaces".

I don't think it should really down them. Why does it touch eth0 at all in this case?

It looks like some udev rule problem to me... Christian, can you help? Andi, can you attach your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file and provide more detailed informations about your setup / machine, please? -- 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.
