thanks for the reply.
ettercap is the software to manipulate network traffic. and i think it has changed some configuration.
/var/log/dmesg output includes entries with e1000e.
the output of ip addr shows the device name eno1
<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc DOWN qlen 1000
link/ether
mac id) brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*
actually the device is eno1 (not eth) and i had two profiles profile_1 and profile_2
both seem to be correct. they contain the ip address and mask DNS and GW etc set by me earlier.
thank you
