and the only interface enabled is the internal "loopback," means your network card hasn't been activated yet.
After
linux-cqtg:/home/lxmark # arp -n Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 192.168.0.1 ether 00:13:46:f0:d5:74 C eth0
now it finds the router...

and the network card (eth0) works david might be right saying that other module may need to be loaded for your card. i didn't think yast network configuration would do that, but i may be mistaken. one other thing you can try: type ifup eth0 on a root terminal before starting the yast configuration and see if your network starts working. (if not, please post the result of that command here.) if that still doesn't work, we'll have to do something about the kernel modules for your network card. the README file you posted earlier should help with that. i don't have much experience configuring kernel modules, simply because i've been lucky so far and the hardware i'm using was mostly supported by default. i would have to start guessing and trying out different things; it's better if somebody with better knowledge in these things helps you with that. but try once more, using "ifup eth0". it might just work... -- phani.
