I see a few differences between our config files

the above all match, except we have different realtek cards

USERCONTROL='yes'

What does ifconfig show?
ifconfig shows the same exact readout before and after I activate the
card with yast.
With the wrong driver mine appears to work but is unable to receive.
The system tries to load the r8169 driver and I have to force the 8168
instead.
The readme file on my driver says to remove it using the following:

Check to see if the r8169 module is installed:

#lsmod | grep r8169

If there is a readout, remove it using:

#rmmod r8169
