Network Card not starting.

Hi Guys,

I don't know if this is a kde issue or a SuSE one ! 
Probably a SuSE 
issue!   Clean install of 10.2.

Knetwork manager will not start the network card (tulip
driver) if it 
is not running.  If it is running, it won't stop the card!

If the card doesn't start on boot, you have to go through
"YAST" and 
click through the settings, without changing anything, to
force the 
network to start.

Thanks.

Hi,

See if networkmanager daemon is running (note that there is
no 'k' at the 
beginning).

Do you really need to use the networkmanager to set your
network? Are you 
often changing configurations?

If not, try to set the card using the "classic"
method. This should be offered 
to you when you enter the setup module in yast.

Best regards.

Mmmm Doesn't seem to be !  On clients machine. where should
it start 
from ?

Two machines involved here !  On my laptop yes.  I switch
between 
wireless and lan via network card.  Thats fine! No
problems.
But the clients machine is lan only.  Still no sign of 
"networkmanager" daemon though !

I have tried both ways.  Neither method seems to work
properly.  I 
also noticed that the sound is not working either.  I went
for the 
"networkmanager" because it gives an immediate
indication that the 
network is down.

Check if the NetworkManager package has been installed. If
not, install it. 
The NetworkManager service will appear in the Services
module of yast. Switch 
it on. You can also do that from the command line using
chkconfig.

Things should be working now. To be honest, I have never
used the 
NetworkManager setup and I am not sure if there should be
anything else, 
besides this. But one thing I know for sure - you need the
NetworkManager 
daemon running...

What do you mean that the classic setup is not working? Do
you mean that 
network cards are not recognized or that you were not
satisfied with the way 
settings are to be changed?

If your cards are not detected and configured properly maybe
this is a lower 
level issue (driver) issue.

Try installing and running the NetworkManager daemon and if
you still don't 
have any results, please post some detailed info, like dmesg
output for 
booting (also found in the /var/log/boot.msg) and lsmod
output.

Good luck and best regards!
