Sorry, I've seen this thread only now and just had quick view in the past 
mails. It seems to me that this is the same problem I've had when installing 
my SUSE 10.0. Yast recocnised my Davicom as a Tulip and this did not work. I 
had to manually overwrite what Yast said. The thread starts here (wrong list, 
but got kind help anyway...):
http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse/2005-Dec/0284.html

After all the hints it finally worked, I did the following (copied from my 
mail to the mailing list):

"In Yast I deleted the network card and finished Yast. Then opened Yast again 
and "installed" the network card again, leaving the name, that yast gave her 
untouched, just overwriting "tulip" by "dmfe" (in hardware details). 

After this eth0 was not on the list given by "infconfig" (only lo appeared). I 
rebooted the PC - and now the network card works as it should. I've rebooted 
twice, to see, if was only an accident - but it seems that first deleting and 
then adding the card again works better than just changing the settings."

Since then my card works perfect...

Hope this helps.

Daniel
