This seems to be normal as long the interface was not brought in up state Right, carrier is always zero on all machines if the interface is down, so I expect they try to bring the network interface up before, maybe increasing a waiting time to let the network driver settle down a bit, works?
On adalid this test script shows that it takes rather long until the link is detected (more than 1 sec, under high load possibly longer): #!/bin/bash for ((x=0;x<5;x++)); do ifconfig eth1 down; ifconfig eth1 up; sleep $x cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:02:03.1/net/eth1/carrier; done /tmp/network_test.sh 0 0 1 1 1 Can the timeout in yast to let the network settle down and to check the link be increased, pls. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
