Hi Robert,
The YaST code responsible for gathering the interface list relies on interface configuration files (ie. ifcfg-X) being present in /etc/sysconfig/network. It's possible that during installation, if NetworkManager is selected over Wicked, these files are not generated and hence SuSEfirewall does not 'see' these interfaces. Could you verify if you have the necessary ifcfg files related to your interfaces?
$ ls -1 /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg* /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template
Same situations for both machines. One was a fresh TW install (laptop) and another an upgrade from 12.3 (desktop)
My take is that this is expected behaviour then. Since your system does not contain any ifcfg- files for your interfaces (save for loopback), YaST firewall will not 'see' any interfaces either. Try creating the ifcfg- files matching the interface names present on your system. I suspect they can even be empty files, since you're not using Wicked to actually configure the interfaces. Then re-try the firewall module. -Karol
