I did check to see if the module was loaded first, in fact - it wasn't. The problem is undoubtedly a module - loading one. I'm sure I will get it sorted out - however I'm equally sure a Linux neophyte would have scant chance, and it does seem a particular shame that the installer has blown this when so many versions of SuSE handled it without problems.
Not 'the' module. I think he was referring to looking for a module that might have been loaded for eth0 (but the wrong module) You'd have to get rid of that module before loading the correct one.
Thanks Bruce, I should have said 'I did check to see if any eth0 module was loaded first' - no, there isn't.
I wonder if it is an IRQ problem. I notice in my /etc/modprobe.conf that for the 3c509 it calls for irq=10. Wonder if you could add that when doing the modprobe.
