I recently purchased a Dell Studio 17 since I need to run windows & linux
(ipenSUSE 11.2 x86_64) dual booting. The wired lan (all I have) will not come
up when used in ifup mode but will when run under automatic (Network Manager)
control.
Here are the outputs of some files:
dmesg | grep r8169

lan card is a Realtek RTL8111/8168B and the kernel driver is auto detected as
r8169.
Any recommendations on what my next step should be?
