Listmates,
I ran into an annoying bug with Yast -> Network Device _not_ restarting eth0 after making changes to a network card. This was incredibly frustrating to have to run back across town to the office after the ssh connection went dead. Yast correctly created /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0, but then for some reason just did not restart the device. I get to the office and loopback is the only device shown with ifconfig. A simply ifup eth0 started the card just fine.
I don't think it is specific to 64-bit systems, but I have noticed the same behavior when changing the hostname via ssh -- it never comes back online by itself. I am going to test this on the SLED beta and report a bug irregardless of what I find because this should be fixed in 11.0. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
