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.
Isn't there a problem here:
- connect to host via ssh - edit network settings - stop network
I'm not sure the rest of the sequence, i.e. 'start network' is done after you've sawed off the branch you're sat on.
No, the problem is there is a bug in the software. Obviously I am not manually stopping the network and expecting it to stay up, and I can even understand if the network connection were to drop and having to re-connect via SSH. But the case is if you change network settings via SSH using YaSt2, the connection will drop and you will physically go to the machine and find eth0 not up and need to do it manually.
YaST is probably killed after stopping the network as it is no longer connected to a console. Did you try running yast via nohup or in screen? Regards, Matthias -- Matthias Bach - www.marix.org GPG/PGP Key-ID: 0xF0818B12
