An unconfigured Ethernet device means that the system detect a hardware Ethernet device with a specific MAC address and does not find a matching configuration, ifcfg-ethX file. The udev system matches your hardware Ethernet device with the name eth1, but you do not have a file ifcfg-eth1. Same goes for your wireless device.
How does one fix this. I do not have eth1 any more. I deleted it and started over thinking all would be set up correctly. Why does the udev system want to match Ethernet MAC address to eth1, and not use eth0? I see no reference to a MAC address in the ifcfg file. I only have a single Ethernet adapter in the laptop. Also a single wireless adapter...
Look in /etc/udev/rules.d/ for a file
70-persistent-net.rules
It is probably there assigning the MAC address you want on eth0 to eth1. Likely it has two assignment lines. Just changing the assignment on the right address, a single character edit, and deleting the other line should be all you need to do before rebooting to find what you expected in the first place.
Adding a zero byte file
80-net-setup-link.rules
in rules.d/ might help to avoid future perplexity. See (near its bottom): http: //www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/
There are just two lines in 70-persistent-net.rules. Both have an ATTR(address) entry, but the ATTR(dev_id)=="0x0 and the ATTR(type)=="1". I have forgotten how to determine the MAC address. lspci shows a lot of info, but no mac address.
Have you tried the command "hwinfo --network" as root? On my running machine it shows all the available info on my NICs, including the "HW Address:" which is the MAC address. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
