Upgrading to openSUSE 10.3 -- DUCT TAPE FOR THE NETWORK CARD

Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 70.113.13.239] on November 28, 2007 04:47 AM
I banged my head for a while on the network card issue to no avail. Finally I traced the problem to the fact that the network card modules were not loading. If I manually loaded the module with modprobe the network came up.

Until the OpenSuse distro fixes the problem I added lines to the /etc/init.d/boot.local to fix the drivers.
Example:
modprobe -q tulip

I hope this saves someone some time.
