Re: 2.6.18-rc7-mm1: networking breakage on HPC nx6325 + SUSE 10.1

On Tue, 19 Sep 2006 23:30:34 +0200, "Rafael J. Wysocki" said:

Well, I can configure the interfaces manually, with ifconfig, but the SUSE's
configuration tools don't work.  For example, "ifup eth0" tells me that
"No configuration found for eth0" and that's all.

I'm seeing issues on a Dell Latitude C840 as well, but I'm not positive
it's the same bug(s).  The problem I'm seeing is that device renaming is
failing (I have up to 5 different ethernet-ish interfaces that can be
connected, so I abuse /sbin/nameif extensively. There seem to be some
other issues with pcmcia, but it's not clear what the problem is - it
manages to find the (normally down) ethernet on my Xircom card, but the
orinoco driver seems unable to find my wireless card....

For instance, under 2.6.18-rc6-mm2, I see:

Amazingly less chatty.  Much later, when /etc/rc5.d/S10network runs, we finally
see:

orinoco 0.15 (David Gibson [off-list ref], Pavel Roskin [off-list ref], et al)
orinoco_cs 0.15 (David Gibson [off-list ref], Pavel Roskin [off-list ref], et al)

but no output for the wireless configuring.

Unless somebody has a better idea overnight, I'll start a bisect of -rc7-mm1
in the morning...
