17.4.1 Configuring the Network Card with
YaST
To configure your wired or wireless network card in YaST, select Network Devices >
Network Settings. After starting the module, YaST displays the Network Settings dialog
with four tabs: Global Options, Overview, Hostname/DNS and Routing.
The Global Options tab allows you to set general networking options such as the use
of NetworkManager, IPv6 and general DHCP options. For more information, see Section
"Configuring Global Networking Options" (page 218).
The Overview tab contains information about installed network interfaces and configu-
rations. Any properly detected network card is listed with its name. You can manually
configure new cards, remove or change their configuration in this dialog. If you want
to manually configure a card that was not automatically detected, see Section "Config-
uring an Undetected Network Card" (page 224). If you want to change the configuration
of an already configured card, see Section "Changing the Configuration of a Network
Card" (page 219).
The Hostname/DNS tab allows to set the hostname of the machine and name the servers
to be used. For more information, see Section "Configuring Hostname and DNS"
(page 225).
The Routing tab is used for the configuration of routing. See Section "Configuring
Routing" (page 227) for more information.
