Network Problems After Configuring DSL
Support knowledgebase (thallma_dsl_80)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 8.0
Symptom
Your network cards have been properly set up and integrated. However, after
setting up the DSL access, chaos seems to reign among the network cards.
Cause
The DSL device (dsl0) is initialized before the network
device (ethx)
and the driver for the corresponding network card is loaded during the
initialization of DSL.
Therefore, the load process cannot take place with ethx and
it reports the error message failed.
Solution
A fixed initialization script that changes the order is already available and
can be installed with the package:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/a1/sysconfig.rpm
Download the package and install it by entering the following
command as root:
rpm -Fhv sysconfig.rpm
During this procedure, you may obtain the following message:
insserv: Warning, current runlevel(s) of script `gpm' overwrites
defaults.
This message only tells you that the runlevel has been manually
changed in the system
and that the default settings of the package sysconfig are now being overwritten. The changes you have performed manually will be applied.
Finally, restart your network system or reboot the computer.
