Thank you John for your quick reply.

silly me..

It is a SiS 191 gigabit ethernet adapter (rev 2) and I found
a thread in suse forum.

http://suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=44949

It should be supported by the newest kernels (like the
one I have).  In the network card configuration, yast
does not offer me any kernel modules to choose..
Where I could find the name of the kernel module
(if there is any for this card) ?
