Oh,
You don't have a router between you and your ISP? Even an $50 cheapo wireless router will provide a constant IP on your home side of the network that will not be impacted by reboots -- and all do dhcp as well.
No, it's a cable modem. It has never given me any problem in the past, and AFAIK I have only seen this after a reboot due to a kernel update. Might it have something to do with the fact that now, for the first time, I am booting from a UEFI setup rather than a BIOS setup?
Whatever you do, if you can, put a routing device between you and your ISP that will maintain the IP from your ISP and serve as a gateway for your home network -- solves many, many problems...
That will not work, if this is a problem of the network service (wicked) being started before the network card has been properly initialized. I cannot see in the log files whether or not this is the case (I really don't know what to look for). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
