The old "opensuse@opensuse.org" is now "users@lists.opensuse.org". Both addresses are the same. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)

So if SuSE Leap 15.3 has this network problem out of the box and Tumbleweed snap 20220202 has problems with all browsers and thunderbird (see my post Subject "Strange problems with browsers and thunderbird") what is left then to use from SuSE? :-/ 15.2 is not supported anymore since January 2022. :-( BR Am 05.02.22 um 11:18 schrieb Simon Becherer:

Hello, on Leap 15.2 on my laptop network (eth and wlan) was working just normal.Updated yesterday to Leap 15.3 and I have massive networking problems: Feb 04 01:44:34 machine4 systemd-udevd[428]: Network interface NamePolicy= disabled by default. . . . I've never seen this "NIC Link is Down" message, when the cable is plugged in and the switch is on.On Windows 10 all is ok and this was working on SuSE Leap 15.2 just before update.:-( What is wrong here?Reinstall?Try tumbleweed?Take another distribution and leave SuSE? BRPete

This is new to me as well, but "NamePolicy" seems to be a udev thing, and on my 15.3 desktop system, /usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link has the line

NamePolicy=keep kernel database onboard slot path

What does yours look like?

here the file on tumbleweed looks like:

[Match] OriginalName=*

[Link] NamePolicy=keep kernel database onboard slot path AlternativeNamesPolicy=database onboard slot path MACAddressPolicy=persistent

================ if you modify this file and it solves your problem, be careful, this will be overwritten by updates. (its good for testing settings to modify here)

if you want to change only one line permanent, you have to generate a file in this path (for tumbleweed):

/etc/systemd/network/99-default.link.d/solve-my-network-problem.conf

you see the directory MUST be the same name as the original filename is + ".d". the name of the file must?/should (i am not sure) be "somename"+".conf"

and inside this file "solve-my-network-problem.conf" in my case put in:

[Link] MACAddressPolicy=none

this will overwrite the same, and only the same line in the "/usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link" file. the rest of the original file will be used as normal.
