I am using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) as VM Ware virtual machine (that was cloned). Not sure why but network card cannot be configured via yast2. If I go to edit and hit enter Yast will go back to Control Center. Also in yast2 I can see that the card is not connected. No idea what it means though.But if I go command line and issue these two commands the network is up and running.ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255route add default gw 10.0.0.1 eth1From /var/log/messagesJun 18 14:20:19 Edumate kernel: [  221.986998] e1000: eth1 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: NoneJun 18 14:20:19 Edumate kernel: [  221.988366] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not readyJun 18 14:20:19 Edumate kernel: [  221.988482] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth1: link becomes readyJun 18 14:20:29 Edumate kernel: [  232.399704] eth1: no IPv6 routers presentQ1: Would anybody know how to fix the network configuration orQ2: What files I update with above two commands so I can have network up and running after each reboot?EDITsremoving /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and rebooting didn't helpcontent of /etc/sysconfig/networkEdu:/var/lib/edu/bdrs # cd /etc/sysconfig/networkEdu:/etc/sysconfig/network # lltotal 108-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13192 Jun  5 16:30 config-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 13181 Jun  5 15:42 config.backup.by.convert_to_netconfig-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  7482 Jun 18 14:10 dhcp-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  7686 Jun  5 15:42 dhcp.backup.by.convert_to_netconfigdrwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Jun  5 15:42 if-down.ddrwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Jun  5 15:42 if-up.d-rw------- 1 root root   172 Jan 31 23:45 ifcfg-lo-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29333 Jan 31 23:45 ifcfg.template-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   239 Jan 31 23:45 ifroute-lodrwx------ 2 root root  4096 May  6  2010 providers-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    22 Jun 18 14:07 routes-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     0 Jun 18 14:07 routes.YaST2savedrwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Jun  5 15:42 scripts
Need to configure network card manually after each reboot
virtual machine;init script;suse;networkcard
On SuSE, you can configure the network manually via files in /etc/sysconfig/network. Create a file called /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1 containingSTARTMODE=onbootBOOTPROTO=staticIPADDR=10.0.0.xxxNETMASK=255.255.255.0BROADCAST=10.0.0.255The default route needs to be set in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes.default 10.0.0.1 - eth1
