I tried it, but the response is: interface eth0 is not available
Then it is a module issue. Your eth0 interface isn't created until you have the proper module loaded that allows your computer to talk to your network card. Before you load the module, your computer has no idea that you have an eth0. Just for grins, do as suggested. After a fresh boot, but before the network card is enabled: lsmod > net-before Then start your network with yast and get it running. After it is running, do lsmod > net-after then diff net-before net-after > filetopost Then post the result of the diff (the contents of "filetopost" if any). Once we can determine the module that is needed, as root, do a: modprobe -v modulename Then confirm that eth0 appeared with an ifconfig. Then with the module loaded, as root, do a: depmod -A To save the module dependencies in modules.dep and the module for your network card should then load on boot as long as it isn't blacklisted somehow in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.
