From: "Michael Kershaw"
Hey David,
I just took a quick glance at your description of the problem your
having, and it might be the same situation that I've already had to resolve
here in my datacenter. Which version of SuSE are you running at the
moment? If you'd like, send me the output of an ifconfig -a on your system,
and an ls on /etc/sysconfig/network, and I might in fact be able to help you
out man. =]
Hope I can help ya,
Mike K.
Mike,
Thanks for you willingness to help. I solved the problem by editing
/etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules and removing the rule with
the bogus "default" MAC address. All is working fine. I did file a bug
report, but the power that be found it not worth fixing. Anyway, in response
to your request:
