dear all
i have open suse 11.0 installed in my Pc
with Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC
and modem huawei smartx mt880
i try hard to configure it for connection no result
i don’t Know What to do
pleas i need help
perhaps this will help you to understand the probleme

do you use the network manager? check it in the yast->network devices-> network settings ->global options
it’s advisable to use traditional method with ifup.
in the terminal you need to run this command ifup eth0(if that’s your network card). Check your firewall also to be able to get outside ). post back and we will try to work on it.

Your network interface info shows that it has not even attempted to send out any packets, for DHCP for example. So either you don’t have network manager running, or the NIC driver isn’t working. Which is possible, given that this is a rather new NIC model.
If you do have network manager running and it still doesn’t work, is there any chance you can try 11.1? That’s newer and might support this NIC out of the box.
Options are:
[on]boot : we are currently booting (or shutting down)
auto : alias for boot
hotplug : we are handling a hotplug event
manual : we do it manually (default, just needed with ‘rc’
rc : we are called by a rc script (implies auto)
dhcp : we are called from dhcp client
prov=<n> : use provider <n> (for dial up interface)
nodeps : don’t shut down interfaces depending on this
debug : be verbose
nosyslog : don’t write to syslog even if USE_SYSLOG=yes
If options are contradictionary, last option wins. Unknown options
are simply ignored, so be careful.
linux-0jjw:/home/cazanovaaac # ifup eth0
Network interface is managed from NetworkManager
NetworkManager will be advised to set up eth0
but it cannot be assured from here.

i think may be network card is not reconned by oppensuse 11.0
Can you try to do the steps I mentioned earlier to replace network manager with Yast?
And then when starting (ifup eth0), have a terminal session logged in as root with the following command: tail -f /var/log/messages
This will let you see what’s going on and eventually post the specific part in the log for more debugging info so we can try to help.
Not sure what this means: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
but something makes the connection timming out as there is no listener on the other side. Do you use DHCP or the provider gave a fixed IP address(less likely).
Try to connect directly from your machine to internet(modem or phone line connection) without using the router(in case you have one). Try to disable your firewall(with YAST) so connection is not blocked by the firewall.
What I would do:
ifdown eth0 (that will disconnect you)
ifup eth0 (that will attempt to reconnect)
ifconfig (if you are connected then for the eth0 you will see an IP address)
If you don’t have an IP address then you are not connected but post again whatever is logged from the messages file. If you have an IP address. then you can ping any outside address like Google and then add one of the components(like firewall ) and see if you still have the connection) and so on. Good luck!
As I said, can you try 11.1, even the LiveCD at least? You may need a more recent driver. 11.0 is just over a year old now and the driver for the NIC may be too old.
