Hello David,
Thank you for your help. I tried knemo and it works OK, but I would like to be able to turn off and on the network manually. It seems that with knemo I cannot do it. Or can it be configured like that?
Istvan,
knemo just monitors the interface and cannot turn it on or off. I thought you wanted the network 'On' all the time. (that's what I do). That's why I suggested setting the interface to initialize 'on boot'. I have had nothing but trouble with kinternet (especially with madwifi (Atheros) wireless). So I switched my boxes to use traditional ifup and have not had a single problem since.
If you want to be able to turn it on or off, then you will probably want to keep kinternet (or just issue the ifup/ifdown <interface>). There are several connection options in Yast, on boot, on cable connection, hot plug, etc... You will just have to experiment with the one that will actually let kinternet do what you want it to do.
I use 'on boot' because I access a lot of my boxes by ssh and I *always* want the network up regardless of that desktop the user may have up. The yast/network wiki page explains the different connection options (sorry no link), take a look and try the ones that look useful and let us know what works.
Hello David, Thank you again for your help. So far I had no any trouble with kinternet except of that I mentioned, that is it hangs the network connection when the user logs out from his session. I do not use wireless. This only occurs to dsl modedm connection and not to direct network (LAN) connection, I don't know why. I will try the different options in yast as you suggested.
