Have you gone into yast, integrate hardware into system, configure network device; and installed your network card? Does your network card show up in the boot messages when you bootup?

I looked in the boot messages file but it doesn't show up ... however, and here I think that I might have screwed up at some time, during boot time I get a message that it can't find the "eth0eth0" device ... I assume this should be "eth0" and I somehow have managed to changed this somewhere ... but I don't know where to look.

Go into yast/system configuration/ and "change configuration file" There is an entry for netdev_0, and make sure you empty it, and the other netdev's near it. Then go back and try to install the network card. You need to have the network card module in your initrd, or else rebuild the kernel with support for your card. When you go to first install suse, it gives a screen to "load modules", choose to load a ethernet card module for your card. You can add it after the install, by putting the module name in the system configuration file, under initrd module; then you need to do a mkinitrd, so it will get loaded at boot.
