Hi,

I just installed 9.2 on my home server and am experiencing some trouble. On boot the ethernet card is not being correctly initialized and therefore all subsequent startups like DHCP, DNS etc. all have problems.

As you can see by the output below, it seems the interface is not getting/retaining its (ipv4) address.

If I restart the network service everything is fine and all other services function normally.

Some of the relevant output follows. It's SuSE 9.2 on a 1.5 Mhz Pentium 4.

Is this onboard NIC? Sunny

Yes it is. An Intel Pro 100 (it's an official Intel mother board) using the e100 driver.
