I am at the GUI install stage where I configure Network Cards. When I first get to this stage, Network card availabe is Other (not detected). I choose Configure and the following screen has Devise Type:Ethernet Config Name:0. I click the box that says PCMIA and the Network settings change to Devise Type:Ethernet Config Name:bus-pcmia. I see no place to set the Devise Type to et0. I am not sure if this matters. I then get the IP / DNS server dialogs to enter the IP, Netmask, DNS stuff etc. etc. I have no problem here. I have done two SuSE installs on towers and I know what to put here.
When I do the internet test it fails and the error is ...
eth-bus-pcmia: Error: Interface is not available
Can someone help me with this??? I am sure there is a way to skip the Network setup at the install and configure it after I boot. I would rather have it work here as I have no clue how to do the former.
There's no need to configure the network card at this point unless you want to use it - for the online update, for example. You could just leave the settings as they are, finish the rest of the install, reboot, and go back to network card configuration once the pcmcia subsystem has been started. Then do your online update.
