You are right, that is what it was. Although the Network setup in YAST was set to use DHCP, the client was not set to start in the configuration settings. Thanks, Ron Cordell

The card seems to be properly detected..... This is no longer a matter of modules to be loaded or anything like that...
You should turn your investigation toward the DHCP Client.... What kind of ISP or connection do you have? Check out /etc/rc.config and be sure that the DHCP Client is well started during the boot sequence....
Discussions on this list over the past few months reveal that SuSE DHCP client isn't the more efficient....you should try to download DHCPCD 1.3.17 or + and use it instead of the default SuSE's DHCP Client...
best regards
