Well, Yast1 decided to drive me nuts. It keeps screwing up my pcmcia network settings! The story: My laptop has a built-in ethernet adapter which I use at work. At work I get the IP address via DHCP. At home, I use a wireless PCMCIA adapter. In this case, I use a fixed IP. What happens is that if I run YAST while at work (i.e. installing a new package), it goes and changes the SEARCH, DNS_1 and DNS_2 entries in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file. It leaves all other settings intact (IP, GW, etc.) This means that when I get home, I have to edit the file and fix it. Why would YAST touch the pcmcia information when it knows that eth0 is NOT pcmcia (as I entered in the network card set up screen)? Avi -- Avi Schwartz Get a Life, avi@CFFtechnologies.com Get Linux!
