[opensuse] Dell D820 + Docking Station = APIPA Address
So, I have a Dell D820 and this is an issue i've been living with actually for a while. When I am docked, and i turn on my machine, I first get an APIPA address (169.254.x.x), I have to then redo reconnect with NetworkManager to get an ip address from my local subnet. Anyone with a D620 / D630 have this issue? My card is a: running kernel: 2.6.23 Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
I've had several D620s with 10.2 and 10.3 installed and never had this issue using a docking station. Have you tried a different docking station or using a live distro to see if you could recreate the issue? On Thu, 2007-10-11 at 15:41 -0700, Ben Kevan wrote:
