In YaST2 where you set up the interfaces, you can choose to have the interface start on boot. The problem might be that eth0 is setup to start on boot when you aren't using it. Try changing it for the NIC card to start on connection.

Doing this will change which interface is listed in the ifplugd configuration file.

i think yast2 has a bug there. when i changed it in yast2 -> networkdevices -> inter PRO/wireless 2200 -> advanced.. -> detaied setting -> cable connection : nothing changed in /etc/sysconfig/netwok/ifcfg-wlan....


i edited the file and change ifplug into manual
i did it for both ifcfg-wlan.. anud ifcfg-eth.... i reboot the computer,
load up the device with "ifup". connected the net - fine, load a browser and... the system freezed again!!!

any suggestions?

After you do "ifup <device>" try doing a "ping google.com" and see what happens.

then check ifconfig for an IP address.

if all goes well, from your terminal type "firefox" and see if you can get any error output from your terminal?

If it freezes again after all that, I'd suggest rebooting and checking /var/log/messages for errors, you'll have to look towards the bottom and check date/times.

new results
 

the system freezed even after i load in safe mode (terminal).

the tail /var/log/messages before doing "ifup eth1"

gave

linux mDNSResponder (Enginerring build) starting
linux mDNSResponder: Unable to parse DNS server list Unicast DNS-SD unavailabel

after doing "ifup eth1", the tail gave nme

-----
eth: no IPv6 routers present
.
.
.
linux modify_resolvecont: service dhcpcd modified . See info block in the file /etc/resolv.conf

---

from here the system might freeze on me, if it does not (usually it doent yet)
after ping i got once in /etc/messages

linux psmouse.c: glidepoin at isa00b0/serio2/input0 lost synchrinization, throwing 1 byte away.
------

after getting to X11 by startx i got via tail /etc/messages

linux modprobe: FATAL: Error
inserting sonypi (/lib/moudules/2.6.12-15-default/kerne/derivers/char/schypi.ko): no such driver

but that last message also happens if i dont so "ifup eth1" so i am not sure if it has something to do with it.

thats it. i hope it can help you helping me

What version of Suse are you using?

10.0

also, i updated my kernel with yast-update, so it it should be up to date.
