No network after upgrade 10.2 to 11.3

May be there is an answer in some other topics but i’m sure which particular one is really the answer. The problem is the following. I’ve updated my OpenSuse 10.2 to 11.3 using this site and boot from DVD. But after I’d successfully completed the update I’ve not succeded to use Internet or local network more. Even I can’t ping the gateway, I get just a message that network is unreachable. But I’ve set all IPs and the firewall is turned off. I already don’t know what can I do to make the network working. As you see under Windows I have the Internet access ('cause I’m writing this message). And I had it before OpenSuse upgrade.

I have two network cards. One marked as eth0 of them is integrated into motherboard and is too worn out. Another one eth1 still works properly. Also ifconfig shows an interface lo.

The distribution media for 11.3 have a couple of bugs that can only be fixed
once you have networking going and can get updates. Yes - catch 22.

Please post the output of the 2 commands below:


/sbin/route -n
cat /etc/resolv.conf

Yes, the commands output was something i’ve not expected. The first one is

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo

and the second one is

### /etc/resolv.conf file autogenerated by netconfig!
#
# Before you change this file manually, consider to define the
# static DNS configuration using the following variables in the
# /etc/sysconfig/network/config file:
#     NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST
#     NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS
#     NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER
# or disable DNS configuration updates via netconfig by setting:
#     NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=''
#
# See also the netconfig(8) manual page and other documentation.
#
# Note: Manual change of this file disables netconfig too, but
# may get lost when this file contains comments or empty lines
# only, the netconfig settings are same with settings in this
# file and in case of a "netconfig update -f" call.
#
### Please remove (at least) this line when you modify the file!
search mshome
nameserver 192.168.248.21

The IP is the DNS server of my provider.

My attempts to change what the route command shows were not successful, nothing from info route really has worked.

Why do you have NO eth1 info here? Was the wire connected? For routing to work,
you need a line like:

0.0.0.0 X.Y.Z.W 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

The IP address X.Y.W.Z should be that of your router.

Are you sure that eth1 has a driver loaded? Please post the output of


/sbin/lspci -nn

Thank you, the problem is solved. It was just that Yast has shown my network card in the devices list twice (may be it’s some update effect) and I’ve confounded which particular one I need to configure to my provider settings.
