[Watford] Fwd: Suse Network Card Problems - Voyage of Discovery

[Mark Stewart]

It seems Suse has a nice tool (or not so nice tool) called YAST which
does a lot of admin stuff - basically GUI to config files.

It seems it is this tool that is creating wrong network entries in
/etc/sysconfig/network, delete them and manually configure the card,
voila, it works!

Not really played around too much in /etc/sysconfig/network - wish
there was an rc.conf file like FreeBSD!

Hi, anyone coming tonight who is familiar with the latest Suse distro?

First time I have used it today and I am having issues with the
network card, will bring the PC along tonight to see if anyone can fix
it, winner gets a beer on me!

Won't bore anyone with the details now but my conclusion is to go and
buy a PCI network card that is supported :(
