In SUSE 10.2 operating system it shows network cable unpluged after booting the system. If I reconfigre the card with network address and all it will work for that session only. If I restart the problem repeats

pl suggest me some solution

be more specific

What is the configuration of your network interfaces on boot? and after you reconfigure it?

What's the output of ifconfig in both of those situations?

Is this home/school/work network? Do you have DHCP?

If you are using ifconfig to setup the card, these settings will not be retained after a reboot / restart. What I would think would be the best way, and probably safest, would be to use the YasT utility to configure the card. You could manually edit the configuration file (/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-xx xx xx xx xx xx) aswell, but at a risk.

You can test the network you configure by running the script that Linux runs during bootup. The script on my Fedora 10 is in "/etc/init.d/network". From a text window run "/etc/init.d/network stop" to turn off your network and "/etc/init.d/network start" to restart it. The script on my machine also accepts "restart". Like blackbox_ns said modify the file in /etc/sysconfig until it works.

Careful though, the file ifcfg-ethxxxx can be "ln" (hard linked) and saving the changes in one will sometimes break the link to the other identical files. Take a look at the link field that can be listed in the "ls" command.

Equivalent commands on my Fedore Core 10 are the scripts "/sbin/ifup xxxx" and "/sbin/ifdown xxxx" where xxxx is the ethernet driver number and probably is "eth0".
