With the wrong driver mine appears to work but is unable to receive.

OK it looks like you have the same driver issue I have.

When you reconfigure in Yast do you change the driver fron to 8168 each time?

Do you have the r8168 module built for your curent kernel?

have you added this to your modprobe.conf?
####################################
#replacement network driver
####################################
alias eth0 r8168

and have you added this to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
blacklist r8169
