Akoellh,
I do not so much about networking, I will say I do not know “anything” about networking. So whatever you can see with just a glimpse, I can not even understand. This is the first time I am having such problems with suse(or rightly put, problems due to things I do not know)… So I am just counting upon someone somewhere to guide me on what I can do, or from where I can know what to do.
I really appreciate your patience with me, honestly…
Back to the topic. I am not sure how wlan0 got configures, may be in my desperation I would have done that. So should I set it to never start?? Is it causing problems with my DSL connection??
And yes, I can not do away with windows partition because there is only one system in my home and I can not force all others to use an OS which I prefer… ;).
But I tried to fix this problem as per my previous thread. Can you please look into this and let me know what is wrong here…
I removed r8169 driver through command “modprobe -rv r8169” after stopping the network using “rcnetwork stop”. Installed r8168-kmp-default-8.013.00_2.6.27.7_9.1-1.1.x86_64.rpm (Mine is 64 bit OS with “Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller” network card. Installed module for r8168 with “insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/updates/r8168.ko”. Started network again with “rcnetwork start”. Still can not use networking, rebooted system and still nothing.
Here is the output of a script after doing all this:
collectNWData.sh V0.6.1.15 (Rev: 1.165, Build: 2009/09/02 18:39:22)
--- Which type of your network connection should be tested?
--- (1) Wired connection
--- What's the type of networktopology?
--- (1) DSL modem <---> LinuxClient
--- On which host is the script executed?
--- (1) LinuxClient
!!! CND0110E: For the selected connection type there was no active network interface found on your system
!!! CND0310W: Classic network configuration with ifup was detected. Configuration with knetworkmanager is much easier
--- Go to http://www.linux-tips-and-tricks.de/CND#English to get more detailed instructions about the error/warning messages and how to fix the problems
--- If you still don't have success then post the contents of file collectNWData.txt in the net (see http://www.linux-tips-and-tricks.de/CND_UPL#English for links) and then the nopaste link on your favorite Linux forum.
