Hello SuSE folkz,
We're experiencing severe network problem with SuSE8.0 on five
different systems.
All these boxes were installed with default SuSE8.0 configurations.
Suddenly for no apparent reason, after SuSE8.0 reboot, the network
stopped working on all of them.
I've sent all the information to SuSE support team but so far I didn't
 get any reply from them.

Please help us to resolve this issue ASAP, otherwise we'll have to
switch on Red Hat or another less troublesome distro.
All our work stumbled because of this issue.
Our research and development can't be done without networking.
I've attached other files with system related information for your
reference.
Please contact me if any additional information is needed.

Thank you in advance.
