To bring 'dummy' down, go into /etc/rc.config and change the line for 'dummy' so that during boot up 'dummy' is not even brought up. While you are at it, you may configure the settings for the ethernet card in the same file as well. On Wed, 24 Jun 1998, Michael Clark wrote:

Hello,
I am new to SuSE. I installed SuSE on my machine and used YAST to configure the network. After I restarted the system, the "ifconfig" command, shows the loopback device and dummy device. It did not find the eth0 device. How do I get the system to find the eth0 device?
Thank you.

I am guessing that you do not have your network card loaded. Have you recompiled the kernel to include support for your card?? If you have modular support for your card, you can type:
lsmod
to see what modules are loaded. If the card is not loaded, you can load it manually by typing:
insmod [module_name_here] I use: insmod /lib/modules/2.0.33/net/3c509.o
then use ifconfig to down the dummy0 network and bring up the eth0
ifconfig dummy0 down ifconfig eth0 up
hope that helps
