Gah. Seems that was a bad connection to the docking station. For writing the mail in the corridor I had taken it out, and placing it back network came up as always. (Yes, I *had* pressed it down before, just not completely taken out and reconnected)
Can a network connection be unidirectional? I mean, the kernel saw a link, and the requests were sent, just the reply didn't arrive.
So sorry for the noise :((
Yes, a network link can be unidirectional, for numerous reasons, which is why some network infrastructure includes UDLD ("unidirectional link detection") that puts the interface into an err-disable state (and usually signals any associated dynamic routing protocol that the interface is unusable) until the fault is resolved. -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au CCNA #CSCO12880208 ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
