Here is before activating the card

No default route assigned to the card since the card was not setup. Perhaps the module is not being loaded on startup.

No nameserver defined hence no name resolution.

Here you have one nameserver defined it wouldn't hurt to add a couple more, probably defined in the router. If not add them using yast when you setup the network card.
linux-cqtg:/home/lxmark # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Here your default route (0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1) is defined. Without this the machine doesn't know where to network requests.

Try checking to see which module is loaded when the card is configured (lsmod) and add it the the line: MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=" " in the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel If you need further help let us know, that's why we lurk on this list. :-) -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
