Hi, I have connect the DSL Router "AVM FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN" via usb to my computer. Yast2 saw this device, but says that this device don't need any driver (they may be included in the kernel). So yast2 doesn't load any module for this interface and can't determine the mac address and writes the config file under /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bus-usb-1-2:1.0, which was not found when booting the system from y2log: --snip-- y2log:2005-08-10 19:54:27 <1> gateway(8535) [YCP] Lan.ycp:534 hw=$["active":false, "bus":"usb", "busid":"1-2:1.0", "drivers ":[], "hotplug":"usb", "link":nil, "mac":"", "module":"", "name":"AVM USB DSL Device", "num":1, "options":"", "requires":[] , "type":"usb", "unique":"cLrx.dyjIwAU2zY1", "wl_auth_modes":nil, "wl_bitrates":nil, "wl_channels":nil, "wl_enc_modes":nil] y2log:2005-08-10 19:54:27 <1> gateway(8535) [YCP] Lan.ycp:535 device=bus-usb-1-2:1.0 --snip-- If I load the driver usbnet befor calling yast2, then yast2 says it needs no kernelmodul, but now yast2 can determine the mac address and writes the configs in the right configfile /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-usb-id-00:04:0e:4b:3b:1c But after a reboot the interface can not be setup, because the driver usbnet isn't loaded. After "modprobe usbnet; rcnetwork retsrat eth1" the interface is up. So yast2 has to use the driver usbnet for this dsl router connected via usb. I will add hwinfo, y2log and dmesg..

Hwinfo needs to tell yast to use usbnet for this piece of hardware. 42: USB 00.0: 0291 USB Host-to-Host link [Created at usb.122] Unique ID: hSuP.dyjIwAU2zY1 Parent ID: pBe4.rwEG_qMx137 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.0 SysFS BusID: 2-2:1.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "AVM USB DSL Device" Hotplug: USB Vendor: usb 0x057c "AVM GmbH" Device: usb 0x3d00 "USB DSL Device" Revision: "1.00" Driver: "usbnet" Device File: eth1 Speed: 12 Mbps HW Address: 00:04:0e:4b:3b:1c Link detected: yes Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #40 (Hub) I assume that the Driver item above comes from having manually loaded the module.

please attach the result of 'getsysinfo'
Created attachment 45937 [details] output of getsysinfo I've load the usbnet manually to get my internet connection. If I should do it without manualy load usbnet, please let me know.
Dieter, would you please have a look at bug 105621 and add the info requested by Greg, that he may fix the drivers id table?
looks like the usbnet driver needs updated modinfo data
