Perhaps the cable dropped down.
No cable problem. That is exactly what is killing me. The lights on the router are on (also when I changed ports and cable) and when I reboot into Windows the DHCP servers hands out the usual IP address immediately. It is only in Linux, after it worked with this network card for 2 days, that the problem happens. There is no error message on the router, and the logs in /var/log only indicate that the network is down and that the DHCP client is still waiting.
What else can I try?

Hi, I once experienced the exact same problem. For the heart of it I could not find out why it did not work in Linux while it worked in Windows and did work in Linux, before. (it was a dlink-530, I believe). What made it work in Linux: 1. Take out the board 2. Start Linux with no network card installed and delete anything that might have been left over (I did that in yast) 3. Start Linux, once again and see, whether there REALLY is NO network card detected and no remaining settings. 4. install the card physically, once again 5. Fire up Linux and let it autodetect the network card. I cannot guarantee anything, but it did the trick for me. If anything else fails I would install a different network card and see, how this works. After all, network boards for desktop usage nowadays are a commoditiy, more or less. kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
