I can't explain how, after the NICs appear to be fully set up, they both "lose" their IPs and the routing table disappears!
I sprinkled echos throughout various networking scripts like water on pavement. I narrowed it down to lines 947 through 949 of /sbin/ifup. If I have USE_IPV6 set to "no" (sans quotes) in /etc/sysconfig/network/config then these lines get executed at boot time. For some reason, the command: ip -6 address flush dev $INTERFACE flushes *all* addresses, not just ipv6 addresses, from the NIC and I end up with *no* interfaces (not even lo) set up with an IP address, and thus nothing networking related works properly or at all.
Strangely, trying the same command /after/ successfully setting addresses doesn't have the same effect. I'm at a loss to explain.
Can anybody else reproduce the behavior (ie, set USE_IPV6 to no and check your interfaces after boot up. init 1 then init 3 doesn't do it)
Perhaps 1 of the rpms below fixes your problem? ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mmj/9.2/i386/iproute2-2.6.9-2.1.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mmj/9.2/amd64/iproute2-2.6.9-2.1.x86_64.rpm Please let suse know if they are okay ;) -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
