I may be wrong but did you turn on the network card using yast? Are you doing this by hand or using yast to set the card up. I did an installation using 2.2 kernel the other day. I set up the network card. Then I installed 2.4 kernel and the network card would fault on me. I went into yast and the settings were gone. It was like I had to set the card up twice, once for 2.2 and once for 2.4.
Yast merely writes an appropriate alias to the modules.conf file. Actually, in the case of this card the alias isn't quite right . Yast writes alias eth0 rtl8139 rather than alias eth0 8139too The SuSE website has a page on this subject, noting that 8139too is what should be used with 2.4.x kernels. In any event, switching kernels normally does not modify /etc/modules.conf. Paul Abrahams
