Hey Thiav,
 Re: Asus A7N8X connectivity: Your problem is most perplexing. I have 
the same setup and it worked great right out of the box. Have you 
checked to see if you have link lights and swapped the cable? Also since 
you have two 10/100 poerts have you tried both? Are they enabled in the 
Bios? My 3 Com Home Router and DLink Switch are sometimes a bit slow 
even balky when first connecting or after disconnecting and reconnecting 
but as you see I am on line. BTW I was not overwhelmed by Suse Support. 
Good Luck
Donald
