Today, the kernel for my 11.0 64 bit system was updated and now I have no networking at all. In Yast, Network settings, I can't even see the NIC listed. When I try to go to the "Overview" tab, it tries for a couple of minutes to display something and then stops with no NIC listed. What would be the easiest way to recover from this, considering that computer no longer has network access?
tnx jk
This problem is resolved, with a bit of a bizarre cause. After installing the kernel update, I decided to shut down my computer and rearrange the equipment connected to my UPSs, including an ethernet switch. After powering everything back up, I had no networking. By pulling the ethernet cable from my computer to the switch, I could see the change in the switch LEDs. I could also see the same, when I unplugged my WiFi/router, so it appeared the switch was OK. I was able to use my notebook, as it connected to the router via WiFi and did not pass through the switch. The clue was when I tried to update the software on my Blu-ray player and it complained it couldn't connect. The player is on the same ethernet switch as the failed computer. I then powered down & up the switch again and all was well. Even the network settings in Yast was back to normal.
