Things quit working again.
I did a reboot with the ethernet disconnected and the wireless card unplugged. After booting, I plugged in the wireless card and was able to ping locally, but not to the internet. A netstat command showed no gateway.
I finally went to YaST and deleted the eth0 connection completely. I also blanked the gateway information. After exiting from YaST, everything works OK.
eth0 and wlan0 both ask dhcp server for config. have you check your logs. does not show there that resolve file can not be replaced? you can not ask twice for routing information at boot.
There's apparently a lot more to working with two nic cards than I can understand right now, however, this gives me the workaround I need, since most of the use of this laptop will be wireless.
use profiles and scmp
Is it standard for the DHCP server to also supply the gateway address, as well as DNS information?
it can proved such info but it depends on configuration -- Marek Chlopek
