I noticed sometimes in if I have network settings in Yast
 
(Yast --> Network Devices --> Network Settings)

set to use Network Manager it doesn't work properly, If you use the
traditional ifup it works fine.

Then click on the overview tab and highlight the device, then click on
Edit then click on the General tab then the first option says Activate
Device and make sure it says at boot then keep hitting Next until it
goes through it's thing and restart network services.

That worked for me in opensuse 11.1

Hope it helps.
