BI 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?
I too have an ARMADA 7800 and am running SuSE 62 without a problem. First do not configure the network via Yast and remove all ethernet devices from it. You should in install the PCMCIA package and edit the network config in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts If you use DHCP make sure you have IPADDR="" or else it interferes. I have DHCP in the office and at home. I can just take out the PCMCIA, hibernate and then put it back in at home and continue. No swea at all. BTW to have PCMCIA services working better compile APM in the kernel and download and compile latest PCMCIA package. for some reason APM support is not compiled with the SuSE package ??? At least with 6.2 it isn't.
