2 Network Cards - Intermittently Working
Last modified: 2006-04-24 09:09:12 UTC
This system was working with SuSE Linux 10.0 without problems. eth0 (Accton Technology Corporation SMC2-1211TX (rev 10)) Set to DHCP - connects to cable modem. eth1 (Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 02)) set to static ip 192.168.0.3/24 - connects to switch. Computer is set as my network firewall. Both network interfaces are not starting reliable, some times one of the works, sometimes it the other, I have taken 3 restarts of the computer to get both working (with no changes to hardware or software, just restarting the computer) The "boot.msg" seams to indicate the the network card is not having an address assigned.

Does it work if you don't use ifplugd?
I suppose you are using the traditional networking-scheme? Please attach: + /etc/sysconfig/network (as tarball) + output of `ifconfig' + 500 lines of /var/log/messages + /var/log/YaST2 as tarball + `hwinfo --network' thanks.

(In reply to comment #1) > Does it work if you don't use ifplugd? Yes, one network card at a time with "Network Manager". Both network cards under Win98SE
Christian, can you help? If not, assign it back to us.
Go back using 'traditonal network setup'. Then change 'device activation' to 'At boot time' with YaST. Or if you like to edit /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-* manually, change STARTMODE=iflugd to STARTMODE=auto. YaST should not use STARTMODE=ifplugd anymore, except on laptops. Martin, should this be fixed in RC1? Please set it to duplicate (bug 164816) yourself.
RC1 still has the bug, the fix was only checked in afterwards. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 164816 ***
