This is a shot in the dark: it may help, or not. I don't have SuSE installed on a laptop but I do have a Red Hat 4.1 (kernel 2.0.27) installed, and I have PCMCIA cards for ethernet and modem. I find the following for the ethernet card: 1. Boot from cold (i.e. switch on). The card is not recognised (i.e. is mis-recognised as a memory card). 2. Warm reboot (Ctrl-Alt-Del). This time the card is recognised as an ethernet card and all is OK. For the modem card: 1. Boot from cold (i.e. switch on). The card is not recognised (i.e. is mis-recognised as a memory card). 2. Warm reboot. This time the card is STILL not recognised. 3. Warm reboot yet again. This time the card is rcognised and (for instance) minicomm will run and I can dial out, etc. I don't know why this happens. I suspect it is a combination of modules not being loaded at the best moment during boot, and the cards requiring some sort of initialisation which is not complete by the time the OS looks for them. Anyway, be that as it may, do try the "repeated warm boot" trick and see if you eventually get there. If not, nothing lost! Best of luck.

For the record, SuSE always upgrades the meat and potatoes in their new distributions, I said that the challenge facing them was to include something new with each new distribution, not just the obligatory incremental upgrades. No one is a bigger proponent of SuSE linux than I am. I suggest you visit the mailing list archive at SuSE's website, you obviously haven't been following this discussion.
