on my desktop pc (small home server) I upgraded from 15.6 to 16.0 and now I cannot use wired connection, in systemsettings>connections I tried to add a wired connection but I cannot click to apply becouse doesn’t accept click
Maybe your case is similar to no-networking-after-upgrade-leap-15-3-to-leap-16-0
but I have already installed neworkmanager and it is running

It is not recommende to Upgrade from Leap 15.0 to Leap 16.0
sorry, I upgraded from 15.6 to 16.0 not from 15.0, is it possible to correct the wrong title??
yes selinux is active

procuste@server3TW:~> and wired network is always inactive
Have you tried to enable?
I tried to add a wired connection, but it doesn’t result connectable, it appear only in configure connection but if I right click on it the connect option isn’t available (it should connect automatically) and if I click on connections wired doesn’t appear, in live tumbleweed it connect automatically
@pier_andreit and the realtek firmware is installed?
in myrlyn searching realtek I can see:

may be I have to add packman repository?
@pier_andreit So you still have Leap 15.6 repositories… clean them up…
Why do you use my Repo?
