Description Franck Bourdonnec 2007-09-08 10:38:11 UTC 
Opensuse 10.3 beta3 CD boot,installation

Machine: notebook ASUS-BG16E
eth0, onboard, RTL-8139
wlan/eth1, mini PCI IntelPro wireless 2200BG

Steps:
-boot
-mediacheck
-accept license
-probing hardware
-new installation
-network setup:

Everything is fine here.
ethernet 8139 is presented as ETH0
->setup fixed IP
the wlan is presented as ETH1
->setup untouched

eth0=ASUSTeK RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ configured fixed IP
eth1/wlan=Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG unconfigured (DHCP)



-install continues....reboot...last config steps ok.
-normal boot
-yast/network setup

you now see
eth0=ASUSTeK RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ configured fixed IP
eth1=ASUSTeK RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ configured DHCP

what happenned?

The real rtl-8139 has been 'rediscovered has eth1. It has been assigned a default config (DHCP)

The wlan has been assigned eth0 but also received the settings entered in installer step (eg FIXED IP)

BUG: the names are exchanged but not the configurations.
*******************************************************

When you remove the first config line
eth0=ASUSTeK RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ configured fixed IP

the default info is displayed again
eth0/wlan=Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG unconfigured (DHCP)
eth1=ASUSTeK RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ configured DHCP

but you loose initial config and eth0 is the wlan (a bad idea).
