It seems I was too quick to declare success, unfortunately.

With your kernel-default-5.3.18-lp152.1.1.g4cce4f9, the Realtek interface is
indeed detected, but because wicked fails to assign an IP-address to it, it
remains in state DOWN:

# ifstatus eth1
eth1            setup-in-progress
      link:     #2, state device-up, mtu 1500
      type:     ethernet, hwaddr 34:97:f6:32:81:3f
      config:   compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1

Please let me know what other debug information you need to diagnose this.

(In contrast, with kernel-default-5.7.3-1.1.g44c4af0 from OBS Kernel:stable,
eth1 is initialized correctly, and the system is able to send and receive
network traffic with it.)
