Yes any reference to eth0 in yast has been cleared out.
I followed Bruce's previous advice and getting ready to reboot. Why would you reboot??? This is Linux, not Windows.
Good example of bad advice.
He was told to do a mk_initrd.
If you had read the thread, you would know that his nic wasn't being detected or init'd at boot time.
How in hell else would you test a fix???????
Thank you Bruce for your advise. For those that may be following this the below recommendations fixed it. I am not sure why yast did not take care of this because I know the intel pro 1000 is a very popular network card, after adding e1000 in the modules section everything works fine. Thank you again Bruce. Try this: hwinfo --netcard This should provide into about the new card and what module is needed. Then go to /etc/sysconfig/kernel and check what modules are included in the line: INITRD_MODULES="piix ata_piix aic7xxx processor thermal fan jbd ext3" If the needed module isn't in there, add it in between the quotes. Then run (as root) mk_initrd re-boot -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Elijah Savage | AOL IM:layer3rules Senior Network Engineer | When it has to be switched or routed. http://www.digitalrage.org | The Information Technology News Center ----- http://www.digitalrage.org/?page_id=46 for pgp public key--------
