I also have this integrated into the mobo (Albatron 865PE ProII) and the only way I was able to make it work was to upgrade to Mantel's 2.4.21 kernel.
Thanks for the link to Mantel - I'm now using his vmlinuz-2.4.21-58-smp. I've persuaded the kernel to boot (the default command-line options caused an error) but eth0 doesn't come up. There's a message:
Setting up network interfaces: eth0 failed
Is there a log or command to discover more detail of the problem?
Once it's booted I can start the network by hand (modprobe e1000; ifup eth0) so it seems likely to be a config error somewhere.
Is there a way to make it load automatically? Or what is the SuSE way to configure it manually (rc.local etc)?
Go to /etc/modules.conf and check, if eth0 is assigned to e1000. And maybe check your bootup "dmesg | less". -- Andreas
