Thanks for answer. I've removed eth0 interface. Then with YAST2 I've 
configured eth-pcmcia-0 (recognized automatically by SuSE) as static with ip 
assigned by router. Then I've done "/etc/init.d/network restart" and finally  
I've read the message "done" on the screen for "setting up network 
interfaces" at eth-pcmcia-0 entry. Ok, but internet doesn't work. So I've 
manually launched "dhcpcd" and only after that, internet works!.
Ok, I've rebooted the system and network does NOT work.
During boot process, after F2, I've read "configuration lo...done" and 
"configuration eth-pcmcia-0....hotplug".
If I do "ifconfig", only lo interface is present.
I've tryed to extract pcmcia and reinsert and at dmesg i see:
====
cs: cb_free(bus 2)
cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x10ec, device 0x8139
PCI: Enabling device 02:00.0 (0000 -> 0003)
====
but network still not works and only lo interface is present.
Then I've done:
====
luna:/home/ste # /etc/init.d/network restart
Shutting down network interfaces:
    eth-pcmcia-0                                                     skipped
Setting up network interfaces:
    lo                                                               done
    eth-pcmcia-0                                                     hotplug
 ====
So...
====
luna:/home/ste # ifconfig eth-pcmcia-0 up
eth-pcmcia-0: unknown interface: No such device
====
I'm going crazy!!
With Debian I've compiled the pcmcia support static in the kernel and all 
works. I've switched to SuSE because I was looking for a distro more stable 
and modern. So I'd like take all SuSE structure with kernel preconfigured. Is 
it possible?
How can I manage network card without hotplug?
With YaST I've then configured a new interface NOT pcmcia with realtek module. 
Interface name is eth0 than:
====
luna:/home/ste # /etc/init.d/network restart
Shutting down network interfaces:
    eth-pcmcia-0                                                     done
    eth0                                                             done
Setting up network interfaces:
    lo                                                               done
    eth0      (DHCP)                                                 failed
    eth-pcmcia-0 (DHCP)                                              failed
====
But after I've done
luna:/home/ste # ifconfig
luna:/home/ste # dhcpcd
====
Now the situation is:
====
luna:/home/ste # ifconfig

And now Internet works.
