I take it when you said modprobe eth0 you meant modprobe 3c59x?
Have you tried using Yast2 to rediscover the card? Sometimes that works...Has for me on weird issues like this.

Matt, I specifically *did* mean *eth0*. That doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. It just means that's what I understand to be the right thing. Based upon my hazy understanding of all this, I believe something is using the eth0 to load the network driver(s). This is why the 'alias eth0 3c5x9' is in the /etc/modules.conf. As regards running YaST to fix this. I seek to know. At this point I would not be happy with merely getting things working. I want to know how they work. That's the whole glory of Open Source.
