Description Holger Sickenberg 2008-05-28 13:59:23 UTC
I configured a network card to be active with DHCP in "yast2 lan" and clicked finish. But even the config appears in /etc/sysconfig/network/ the device was not active when checking with ifconfig:

fornax:/tmp # ifconfig 
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:1078 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1078 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:67776 (66.1 Kb)  TX bytes:67776 (66.1 Kb)

I had to do a "rcnetwork restart" manually to get it active.

might be the network scripts itself, but I have no idea how to read the logs

That definitely sounds like a bug.

Hm, that's strange, I can't reproduce such problems
Attach please dmesg output, /var/log/messages and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

This is duplicate of bug #395014 (I will assigned as DUPLICATE it after some tests)
Comment 12 Michal Zugec 2008-06-02 07:36:36 UTC
Confirmed, it's a duplicate.
See explanation in comment #11 of bugreport #395014
When link is set up, it should work after "rcnetwork reload"
