Hi folks, I've recently bought a fujitsu siemens pa2548 laptop. Vista out Suse 10.3 in. The wireless lan is switched off. The network was initialy configured with dhcp everything worked fine. But I want to use fixed ip-addresses. In the Yast network setting screen I see 2 items. 1. Fujitsu iemens Ethernetcontroller Not configured Mac ....6d:43 2. Ethernet Network Card Not configured only a BusID
The number 1 ethernetcontroller can be configured with a fixed ip adress.
I configure then the existing eth4 device (wich was configd by dhcp) Then I get a third entry. 3. Fujitsu iemens Ethernetcontroller with its config data Than I can ping this fixed address.
Now the problem: After a reboot. In yast there is still the same config data. The system is unreachable on the fixed address. Looking in the networkmanager I see the following: 1.A new ethernetdevice eth6 ( after 10 boots it is eth16) 2.A dhcp ip adress 3.A new mac-address (changes with every boot)
I can make network connections but not the way I want.
Additional info: If I start the network in traditional way with ifup then nothing happens nothing is started no network.
Do's anybody have an idea whats wrong ??? Whats the maximum number of the eth devices and how can I reset it ?
Thanks
This is probably bug in network card driver that provides random MAC address when initialized. Search our bugzilla for that (there is one open bug for that).
