Hello, I'm trying to install linux 8.0 Professional on my DELL INSPIRON 3500 laptop. I have a PCMCIA card - which is 3COM 3CCSH572BT I am using a cable modem and I have assigned a static IP address on this PCMCIA card thru Yast control panel. Now the issue is that everytime I reboot the machine, eth0 stops working and I have to click through Yast control network basic setup. (I don't have re-enter all the information - it's all there, I just have to click through configure->next->finish button and see all checks go thru), Then it starts working again and I can access internet.... What should I do to make this configuration stick or it picks it up without having to go thru the settings everytime I reboot. At the start up I see: Setting up network interfaces: lo : done eth0 : failed This is my ifconfig after successfully resetting my network card: linux:/home/leeins$ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:52:EE:57 inet addr:192.168.1.102 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::250:daff:fe52:ee57/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:466 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:478 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:2 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:259981 (253.8 Kb) TX bytes:65665 (64.1 Kb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0x300 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:40 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:40 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2608 (2.5 Kb) TX bytes:2608 (2.5 Kb) Someone suggested me that I should put this in some script in /etc/rc.d... how would I do that? Thanks for your help in advance. IL

Hi, use cardctl to setup an ip config or a set of schemes for different locations. Conf files are in /etc/pcmcia. File network.opts contains the schemes which consist of a name (just an identifier) , ip-number, netmask, gateway, nameservers etc. you can switch between schemes by typing: cardctl scheme <NAME> When your laptop starts, the last scheme used is loaded automatically. If yast keeps complaining, just silence hwscan by typing: root> chkconfig hwscan off best regards tom

Did you mark the card as pcmcia in YaST? Look at /etc/sysconfig/network. You do NOT need a ifcfg-eth0, but a ifcfg-eth-pcmcia with BOOTMODE=hotplug. But you can do that with YaST as well. That's all you need. No special tricks, no schemes, no whatever hack. -- ciao, christian -------------------------------------------------------------------- Verglichen mit jedem x-beliebigen Redmonder Betriebssystem-Clone ist Linux geradezu eine leuchtende Perle der Datensicherheit. ------ Frank Rennemann (http://www.linux-knowledge-portal.org) -----
