[NTLUG:Discuss] Suse 9.1 headache now FC2

[Andrew Brown]

OK got full of the SUSE model and loaded FC2, well mostly because I am more
familiar with the Red Hat flav'a flav. When I was running RH Ent WS3 the set
up was working fine. Now I am doing the exact same set up and it is not
working. Going to do get all the info I can and put it out here for you to
review. 

I am using FC2. Running a SMC2-1211TX net card. (worked fine on the red hat
ws3). 

I am calling Comcast tomorrow to see if they have any info that might help.
Doubt it... anyone else using Comcast as their Cable HS provider? What did
you do?

Best bet is to post all the data for us - don't make us guess.

So...

1. What card?

2. What happens during boot?  Look in the dmesg output for the eth0 lines...

3. What does ifconfig give?

4. Any interesting log messages (where by interesting = relevant)?

5. Any interesting config files (you might use locate or find to look for
files w/ eth0 in their names...)

ifconfig basically queries the kernel internals, so it's a view of reality.
Configuration tools sometimes give only partial views - they may need to be
told to look at things (e.g. RedHat's
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 - if it doesn't exist the
'friendly' gui tools won't help).
