I’ve recently bought some new hardware and was trying to install openSUSE-NET-x86_64-Build0153-Media.iso
The installer says it cannot find the repository so I tried 11.0 live cd, where I found that eth0 is offline.
Tried both network manager and traditional mode, still unable to connect.
This is possibly caused by the network card driver since I had no issue at all when installing on my old machine using the forcedeth driver.
Network chip is Realtek RTL8168D(P)/8111D(P)PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC
I’ve found no issue connecting from windows or Fedora 10 and 11 live cd.
Should I get a PCI network card or is there anything else I can do to fix this?
Have a look at this first:
SDB:Realtek 8169 driver problem - openSUSE
HCL/Network Adapters (Wired - openSUSE
Can you post output from this command:
/sbin/lspci -k
Thank you for reply, apparently I had to install the win driver that came with the board and enable wake on lan option.
