Hi,
Can you do hwinfo --netcard when the 3c59x is installed and send it?
Thanks, Anas

With the kernel module in you should have the card. Does eth0 show up if you issue 'ifconfig -a' ?
ifconfig -a shows only "lo" and "sit0"
Very strange. That means that the kernel module hasn't initialised the network card. Is there a problem with the driver itself? In the case of your 3c59x card, try 'rmmod 3c59x; insmod 3c59x'. What happens? What does 'ifconfig -a' say afterwards?
What do you get from 'grep eth0 /etc/modules.conf'?
I'm just trying to determine whether the problem is in fact with autoyast or whether it's more basic than that.
Second question. Is the dhcp client process running? Run a 'ps aux | grep dhcp' and report the results. I'm also curious as to what the generated setup is, could you post /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0, please?
dhcp-client isn't running
No surprise, there's no interface for it to be running on.
in /etc/sysconfig/network there is a files "ifcfg-eth--"
the content of ifcfg-eth-- is the following:
BOOTPROTO='dhcp' STARTMODE='onboot' UNIQUE='37TO.2+bt1HBvFf1' WIRELESS='no' _type='eth'
This is wrong, and not what you should be getting from autoyast - unless there's something fundamentally wrong with network card or driver so that autoyast fails to detect your card.
Are you running a 2.6 kernel? Which version of 2.6 comes with SuSE 9.1? A quick google confirms that there's a bug in the 3c59x driver at least until 2.6.5 - if that's the case you may have to update the kernel manually...
i try install with autoyast another network-card (e1000) and it works fine. when i install the computer with the 3c59x card manually (not by autoyast) the network-configuraiton is ok (ifconfig shows eth0, dhspcd is running)
Could it be a problem, which have autoyast with this network-card ??
