OpenSuse 10.3 no network after upgrade from 10.2

Hi,

I recently upgraded my perfectly working Suse 10.2 to 10.3. Much to my
surprise none of my three network cards are configured at boot time. I
tried several flavours, i.e. 'auto', 'onboot', or with ifplugd. The
message is always something like 'can not be configured' or ifplugd not
running.
The only way to at least have one of them functioning is with
knetworkmanager. But with this steup I can't reach the other two, as they
are grey.
The alternative way is to do it manually with ifup.
Furthermore, advanced routing is configured as it was in 10.2, but it does
not work. The setting is grey, and can't be changed.

Up to now, I'm pretty disappointed. No network and no advanced routing
means: no 10.3 for me.

Hope someone can shed some light on this dark path. I have been using Suse
since 8.0, and have never had such weird problems after upgrading.

Marc,

what hardware are we talking about?
Apart from that consider a clean install of 10.3. I usually have /home on a separate partition. This wayx I can wipe the / partition and keep all my data.
