Hi,
I just upgraded my openSUSE from 11.1 to 11.2. Everything went OK, but when I rebooted, my network card was not recognized. When I go to yast, it says “Unable to configure the network card because the kernel service (eth0, wlan0) is not present. …]”
My card is a 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network. I tried with another card (standard 3Com 3c905C-TX/TX-M Tornado) and I get exactly the same message.
I tried to have a look at the boot log, but as far as I can tell it is OK… although I don’t exactly know what I should look for.
Any idea?

Look in the output of dmesg for any clues. DO NOT POST THE ENTIRE OUTPUT, only
the part that is relevant. You might also post the appropriate stanza of
‘/sbin/lspci -nnv’.
Does your BIOS have any mention of “Wake on LAN” for your network?
It now works again. I installed/reinstalled a couple of packages (among which nfs and kernel-default-devel and kernel-source, and some other kernel-related ones) and it went OK.
Still, sounds strange to me that the installer didn’t put them right from the beginning…
