It used to work on the 9.3 LiveDVD. Only the hotplug mechanisms have changed 
since.

I am really amazed how SUSE/Novell can consider this a "NORMAL" bug. One of the
main goals of such live DVD is to convince new customers to switch to Linux,
isn't it? So anyone with a broadband internet connection using ethernet over
cable will be cut off as soon as he/she tries out this live DVD. If this is
"NORMAL" noone will believe that SUSE likes to get market share off the Windows
market.

Fixed for 10.0
Comment 6 Torsten Duwe 2006-04-26 12:28:17 UTC
10.1, I mean.
