This is exactly what went on and was fixed immediately prior to the 9.1 release (and ifstaus -v is unchanged in either condition also). In my case I am using the pcnet_cs card, so it probably isn't specific to driver. Bob Finch On Friday 18 July 2003 07:42 pm, Adam Williamson wrote: > On Sat,

O.k. Here's yet some more observations. I was premature in stating that conditions had changed. It now appears that sometimes a full dhcp lease is retreved, and THEN logging into kde via kdm is killing the interface etc. (eth0), and at other times the interface and lease never get completed. In

Hey Gang; Earlier this week, after a urpmi.update -a && urmpi --auto-select --auto, the eth0 interface seemed to be set up just fine after a reboot. *However* logging into kde via kdm (not mdkkdm) oddly caused the routing and ifconfig for eth0 to "disappear". The modules for the pcmcia card we
