Yesterday I was finally taking the time to read some log files.. and

Thank you very much... This looks really like the same thing (even though I'm not sure if I have seen --> nknown hardware address type 801 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device 192.168.1.1: unknown interface: No such device 192.168.1.1: unknown interface: No such device

unknown interface I'm sure was there..

one big difference though: I'm using the ipw2200 driver, not madwifi.

I suffered this same runaround recently. To cure the problem, I added the hardware addresses for eth0, eth1 and wlan0 in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, then made sure that ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-wlan0 files /etc/sysconfig/network existed, renaming them if there were e.g:- ifcfg-eth1_rename. There was also a rename file in /etc/udev/rules.d which I couldn't find after I had fixed the problem. SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0e:2e:e3:80:9b", NAME="wlan0" Regards Sid.

Forgot to mention that I had to reboot as "rcnetwork restart" seemed to use what was already in /sys. Something resulting from "zypper dup" seemed to cause the change and this happened on one box only, the one that was progressively upgraded over time from about 10.3 Alpha.
