net-pf-17 isn't the name of a module as such, it is an alias for the module 
af_packet.o, which should be available as an option in the kernel 
configuration. Make sure also you have the alias properly set up in 
/etc/modules.conf

If you've compiled af_packet support into the kernel (not as a module) put the 
alias

alias net-pf-17 off

in modules.conf and run depmod -a. This will remove the superfluous warnings.

In general, however, you would find files in the SuSE distribution by 
zgrepping the file ARCHIVES.gz in the root directory of CD1 or the DVD.

zgrep net-pf-17 ARCHIVES.gz

in this case gives no answer, which means there is no file of that name in the 
distribution.
