Title says it all - no problems at all in setting up network connection in 11.4 - upgrade to 12.1 or clean install and it states in network properties that the cable is not plugged in.
Any one any ideas?
I have tried upgrade install and a clean install.
The motherbord is an Asus Crosshair V.
Many thanks for any guidance in advance!

what driver did you run in 11.4 with its 2.6.x kernel?

what driver does intel provide or recommend for use with the 3.x kernel
in openSUSE 12.1, and is it the same as the one actually installed?
are there any bugzilla entries for that ethernet controller on 12.1?

did you have errors during the upgrade–or why did also you do a “clean
install”

unplug the cable and look inside the receptacle…does it all look ok?
how many wired leads do you see in there? then look at the plug on the
end of the cable, how many wire contacts there?

then plug it back in? does the error report change? (sometimes contact
might be blocked by a tiny bit of corrosion and unplug/replug cleans it)
the other end of the cable, what is it plugged into? unplug, inspect and
then replug…any change?
if it is plugged into a router or other device with multiple ports, the
move to another one (sometimes one fails and the others are good)
try a different (known good) cable. any change in the error?

perhaps the port hardware has failed.
maybe the board has an intermittient ground error.
do you have another operating system on that machine? does it work with
the cable?
maybe the title almost said it all…

Okay - as said in the post - works perfectly fine in 11.4 - all current updates etc.
The connection or motherboard are fine as they work perfect in all other usage - it is only in 12.1 that it does not work.
I dual boot witn win7 and there are no issues at all whatsoever - it is purely in 12.1 that the network settings in Yast shows as “not connected”
It worked once, with a minimal install and was in command line mode not in a GUI mode.
In regards to drivers - i have set none up - the system has allocated all the resorces correctly and automatically.
Clean install performed due to not having any network connection from up-grade
cable has been unplugged now probably 20 or 30 times - also plugged direcly into my ADLS router/modem - and the title does say it all - opensuse 12.1 - NIC not connected
Please post the output of :
/sbin/lspci -nnk
Do You controll your network with NetowrkManager or ifup ?
What is the output of this command :
/etc/init.d/network restart
Best regards,

This may be the same 12.1 issue I’m facing with a new ASUS Sabertooth 990FX based on Realtek RTL8111E ethernet chip. I use ifup.
Network works fine with static IP settings (how I’m using it now), but needs DHCP to work for connecting to an ISP.
This users description sounds very similar to the bug I submitted; Bug 733506 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733506
due to the issues - i have had to revert back to 11.4.
this works perfectly with default settings! it recognises my ethernet port fine and will connect to a network without any issues. i am able to connect directlyto the internet just as easily as i was connecting to an internal network!
