Again, I come to the list for help.

I am having a problem at the Network conf of a SuSE 9.1 Pro on an IBM Think 
Pad.

I know the PCMIA network connection works as this is a dual boot Windoze / 
Linux system.  The Windoze side connects fine and the Linux side, which used 
to be Red Hat connected fine too.

I am at the GUI install stage where I configure Network Cards.  When I first 
get to this stage, Network card availabe is Other (not detected).  I choose 
Configure and the following screen has Devise Type:Ethernet Config Name:0.  I 
click the box that says PCMIA and the Network settings change to Devise 
Type:Ethernet Config Name:bus-pcmia.  I see no place to set the Devise Type 
to et0.  I am not sure if this matters.  I then get the IP / DNS server 
dialogs to enter the IP, Netmask, DNS stuff etc. etc.  I have no problem 
here.  I have done two SuSE installs on towers and I know what to put here.

When I do the internet test it fails and the error is ...

eth-bus-pcmia:
Error: Interface is not available

Can someone help me with this???  I am sure there is a way to skip the Network 
setup at the install and configure it after I boot.  I would rather have it 
work here as I have no clue how to do the former.

Peace
john
