Twice in one week I have somehow trashed SCPM (I still have no idea how), most recently today after re-installing 9.3 last night. Everything on my laptop worked after finishing the install. I updated all my packages, rebooted a couple of times---everything worked. Then I turned on SCPM and added profile statements to GRUB, turned off the laptop, and headed to work. Upon booting the laptop, my network card (in all profiles) will pass traffic for 5 seconds to 60 seconds, then traffic stops. I can restart networking and traffic will again pass through the NIC, at least for a while. When I had problems a couple of days ago, I tried to rebuild the database, which only made things worse, as several profiles were removed. I assume there was a problem with the database. The problem remains if I turn off SCPM, since the active profile (which has problems) becomes the default. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this problem with the NIC? Is there anyway to fix it without doing another re-install this week? Thanks. Sargon
