Do I go to a straight ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 setup in /etc/network/sysconfig? Do I put both eth-id-00:4c:69:6e:75:79 and eth-id-00:04:5a:87:c8:43 in there (seems like a lame Band-Aid approach)
What is the best way to solve this conundrum???
When it is working and not working what does ifconfig say?
Two things I would try. 1st, make sure there is only one nic setup in Yast. 2nd, I would swap out the nic.. Might have a flakey card.
Since it's a new machine, is it possible there is an onboard nic and a card installed as well?
Richard Somehow your software thinks there are more than one nics. Double check that your motherboard does not have a second nic. if you find one, disable it in the cmos setup. When there is just one, suse stops being confused. That has been my experience with 10.0. 9.3 had the problem as well, but once set in Yast it could handle it. What happened to the days when one could assign eth0, eth1 and so one to particular cards I don't know. d.
