Hello,
since quite a while (some months) I have no connection to the router after boot. After the boot and login, I must switch off and on the router, establishing a new adsl-connection, and then the system connects.
I have no idea where I could search for the reasons, where to look up hints or logs, what data I should mention here, where to "screw" to solve the problem...
Opensuse 12.3 KDE 4.10.5 network setup "traditional" with ifup connected by cable from eth0 to adsl-router
Once, after boot, I tried to switch to network-manager, but it tells me that no cable is connected, so I switched back to "traditional".
Earlier, somebody said, I'd have to disconnect the router from all cables incl. phone line and power, and leave it a while. I first thought that it helped, but in fact it did not...
Anybody had similar problems and found a solution?
Thanks for your help!

This won't solve your problem but it may provide a clue to someone else as to why this is occurring with you. To see what I am running see my signature line below, but if your mail client does not display it then it is- Using openSUSE 13.1, KDE 4.13.2 & kernel 3.15.0-1 on a system with- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX660 GPU I have a wired connection to my 4-port ADSL2+ Netcomm modem/router and I am using ifup. Most of the time I can start my system and I am connected to the modem/router without a problem. However, for some unknown and incomprehensible reason there are occasions when I am NOT connected to the modem/router - I start Firefox, for example, and it shows that it cannot find my ISP; so I know that the modem/router is not being accessed. A simple restart of the system (Leave>Restart) gets the connection established. I have no idea what causes this -but it would seem to me something in the boot sequence is either too slow or too fast which causes the router not to be recognised. Aaah, now one more thing which needs some input on your part :-) . Are you talking here about a desktop or a laptop? I am talking about my desktop, BTW. I also have a laptop but, after I had to re-install 13.1, the wi-fi connection just simply will NOT work even though it did before I had to re-install 13.1. And with the laptop, too, I am using ifup and not network manager. Checked and double-checked the configuration but zilch, nothing. But as the laptop is only a toy (albeit an expensive one) I haven't bothered with pursuing the problem with the wi-fi. Oh, the wi-fi, when working, connected to the Netcomm modem/router mentioned above (and others when my wife and I were travelling at the time).
