'No wave carrier for eth0'
Which (simple) correction should I make to restore that?
Thanks,

You lost a kernel module in the kernel upgrade. The quick fix is
to reinstall whatever network card driver package is required. (I
can't guess since you didn't tell us which card you have). You can use
lspci to find your network card chipset and then load the needed
driver. In your case the install provides a needed (*.ko) module that
is now missing. Find the kernel module and find your eth0 you will ;-)

I work with openSUSE 11.0 and my wificard is Atheros AR242x 802.11 abg
Wireless Express Adapter (rev 01)
I tried to install net5211.inl with NDISGTK, but the reaction was 'No
valid driver'.
For the needed *.ko module I have no idea where to search.
