OS: SuSE 9.1 with kernel 2.6.5-7.111
WE have two identical systems built using the ASUS A7N8X-X motherboard with an Athlon 2500+ processor. The bulit in NIC is detected fine but the following errors appear in the boot.msg log concerning the second NIC:
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device interface eth1 does not exist
However, if I go into YaST => Network Devices => Network Card, both NICs appear in the top window as detected but not configured. (We are using both as part of a bridging firewall based on Shorewall, hence do not set them up in YaST.) At this point I can abort out of YaST and manually execute the /etc/init.d/bridge script and both NICs are found.
Question: What does YaST use to detect NICs?
Thank you, Lucky Leavell
Well, my version of Yast is not up to speed (I'm on SUSE Pro 8.0). That said, where you see Yast recognizes the cards, there should be a button that says "Configure". Click that (after selecting a NIC) to actually configure the cards. I am, of course, assuming you need to either manually assign them IP addresses, or tell them to use DHCP. If the Yast module doesn't allow you to configure the cards, or that's not what you need, then I'll leave you in the hands of the more experienced gurus.
