I am new to Suse, not new to linux but not an expert.

I picked up a couple of ISA Fiber cards to use for a remote computer where cat5 run would be too long. The cards are Allied Telesyn AT-1500FT-PNP, Fiber and Twisted Pair. I checked and Suse V7.1 to V8.1 support these cards, I have installed V8.1 and the system can see the card (/proc/isapnp shows the card) but I cannot get it to come up and function. On boot I get the message " Could not get a valin interface name".

ISA? The fact that the kernel detects a card doesn't mean the driver is loaded/installed. I think you should go to Yast network thing, and tell it to detect and configure your card. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
