From Yast, assign this card a static IP address. Let's see if there is a driver issue with this card in Linux. Since this is a dual boot machine and it works in windows, giving the NIC a static IP will be a good test to see the card can communicate with your network from your Linux install.
I did that. I just assigned the usual IP number in Yast (along with subnet mask and gateway), but I still cannot ping the gateway or other machines in the LAN, nor is it seen by them. ~~~~~ Give it another IP address, within the same subnet, and can you ping its address? Are there any errors when you type 'dmesg'? Are there any warnings in /var/log/messages? Also, could you ever ping your network with this NIC under Linux? For example, during the initial install could you download the updates? ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
