As I mentioned, I believe that an earlier version worked on this machine. I guess that 10.0 is not compatible with the Ethernet port on this ASUS P4PE mobo.
And you couldn't throw in another NIC until a kernel update fixed that? That's what I have to do on _Windows_ servers sometimes! ;->

Sure, I could put in a new NIC--but why should I have to? Linux used to work, and somebody in SuSE broke it.
The guys at SUSE really just assemble the product, they don't create it from scratch, so chances are somebody else broke Linux for you. However, did you open a bugreport on this? Or maybe one was already open? If you are right that your Broadcom gigabit interface used to work, something quite obviously got regressed, intentionally or otherwise, and I'm sure SUSE would like to know about it. What's the hardware spec on that interface? At a minimum, post the output from "lspci" if you want help with it. <soapbox> If you don't tell the guys at SUSE about your problems, they won't get fixed. Not for you, nor for anybody else. Learn how to deal with bugzilla, and file bugreports. Of course, be prepared to provide diagnostics, help with debugging etc. </soapbox> /Per Jessen, Zürich
