Hello:

Sorry for it but this post will be a little bit long.

I have a problem configuring network card in openSUSE 11.1.

I have an onboard network card which is recognized as "Giga-byte 
GA-7VM400M/7VT600 Motherboard" in openSUSE 10.3 (in YAST/Network card/network 
settings window). The same card is recognized as "RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+" in 
openSUSE 11.1 YAST.

This network card worked perfectly in openSUSE 11.1

Recently I have installed a PCI network card (VIA VT6105 RhineIII), and removed 
all existing network card configurations in 11.1 YAST to start configuration 
from scratch.
Now when I want to configure network in 11.1, YAST gives the following error 
message:

"RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (Not connected)
BusID : 0000:00:13.0

Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is 
not present. This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See 
dmesg output for details."

I can neither delete nor configure the card.
I can configure the other card in YAST.

In dmesg I found this:

eth0: VIA Rhine III at 0x19000, 00:40:f4:b1:f3:ba, IRQ 18.
eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x7849 advertising 05e1 Link 0000.
...
8139cp: 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver v1.3 (Mar 22, 2004)
...
eth0 renamed to eth2 by udevd [1232]
udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth2
...
eth2: link down
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth2: link is not ready

(I guess the RTL card would require 8139too driver.)
So, how could I fix this, ie configure the RTL card?

Thanks,
Istvan
