Hello guys,
I am new to linux and opensuse. I have just installed the latest version on my computer(dual-boot with windows xp). The internet doesn’t work. I went to the network settings, selected dhcp for ip but it doesn’t get connected. Any ideas?
What device does it list for you in the network settings.
Open a terminal and become su and do:
lspci -v
post result
I can’t figure out a way to post the output over here. I can’t access to the internet or network and flash drives don’t seem to work. When plug them, the light won’t even come on so I think the usb controller needs drivers. Any more suggestions? I
As best you can, try and describe your device (network card) and how you are connecting to the internet (eg; router, usb modem)?
Are you using KDE4? If, so you may need to mount drive by clicking on icon (in Places window) from Dolphin.
I am using Gnome. I am connected the router. I have cable internet. I have also tried to connect directly to the modem. It is an ethernet modem.
Here’s the output of the lspci -v command. I had to type all this so here it goes

Kernel driver in use: 8139too
Kernel modules: 8139too, 8139cp
Known problem, two drivers claiming the same device and sometimes the wrong one is loaded.
Kernel module configuration - openSUSE
Try 8139cp instead of 8139too.
If that works, blacklist the wrong driver.
Note on helpers asking for lspci-outputs.
Please do not ask for “lspci -v” at least in your first reply.
You will get a lot of useless data and as most users will not use CODE-Tags for their replies, it will be hard to find the really important information.
Another drawback of “lspci -v” is that it is missing one very important information, the PCI-ID is not displayed. Especially when you want to identify a device, you will get less valuable information with “lspci -v”.
So it’s better to ask for:
/sbin/lspci -nn
(Note, that this will also work without root privileges!)
If you want more useful information without a lot of extra data, ask for
/sbin/lspci -nnk
This will give you two more lines if (a) suitable kernel module(s) is/are available and which one is actually being used at the moment.
If you want to restrict the output to networking devices, ask for:
/sbin/lspci -nn|grep -i net
or
/sbin/lspci -nnk|grep -A2 -i net
For more than 95% of all cases, these outputs will be sufficient or even better than “lspci -v” and it will also improve the SNR.
Thank you for your response. It didn’t work. I have blacklisted and restarted the computer and opened network settings and there is an error message of “Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device is not present”.
By the way I run the lspci -v command again and this time “Kernel driver in use” line is gone. Seems like after I blacklisted 8139too, it didn’t automatically pick 8139cp. Any suggestions?
Reread the linked article, anything needed is in there.
Any other suggestions?
Post more information than “it does not work”.
openSUSE Forums - View Single Post - Getting Your Wireless to Work
For me this is still only guessing without practically any information about network setup etc.
If this is too much work for you, then that’s your choice, I (and perhaps many other people who help users here) normally choose to stop answering in the respective thread.
I hope this makes it easier on all of us. I have booted Ubuntu 9.04 off the live cd and eth controller and the internet worked right out the box. Are there any commands I can run on Ubuntu and OpenSuse so you guys can compare the difference to see what is wrong on openSuse. I really want to use openSuse over Ubuntu because of the one-click install feature. Thanks
Did you try using the 8139cp
and blacklist 8139too
Yes I have used the modprobe and modprobe -r command and tried both of the drivers one by one.
So what driver is in use in UB*
8139too. The following output is exactly same on UB* and openSuse.

[/size][/size]
So it is not the driver, as I said, I could only guess.
Still there is no usable information (although I gave you a link in my last posting), on your network setup, without information decent help is impossible.
I am sorry Akoellh. I must have overlooked your earlier post. Here’s the output of collectNWData.sh
