3) This is on a laptop which I use at home and work with different network settings. I had worked out a simple way to make the change using cardctl scheme. After updating, networking did not work at all. It took considerable effort to find all the settings yast had changed during the upgrade. I finally have it working at home, but I'm not sure the cardctl will work at work without more tweaking. I see no reason at all for any network settings to be changed during an update. Surely it is reasonable to assume that if the user is interested in networking he has worked it out before the update, and the update procedure shouldn't change anything related to it!
I installed SuSE 6.2 on my Compaq Armada 7800 Laptop also. I am having BIG problems going from my Ethernet network at work to my Ethernet network here at home. Everytime it starts up, there is no networking and as of this morning, my Eth0 interface is gone. Yast says it is still there, but ifconfig says it doesn't exist.
1. What is CardCtl? Where do you get it? Is it a package that is with the distribution? 2. When I change networks, you can use Yast to make network changes, but it doesn't re-start the network with the new changes. What do I execute to get SuSE to except my changes?
Have you tried switching to single user mode (with 'init 1') and back to your current runlevel (with 'init 2' for command prompt logon, or 'init 3' for xdm/kdm logon)?
