To eliminate the possibility that there's something wrong with your installation, you could try booting the SUSE 10 Live DVD.
I don't have a live-dvd and no dvd-burner, so I can't make one.
I was looking around, comparing loaded modules and harware info in Suse 9 and Suse 10.
I found that the network-card driver module seems to be unused in Suse10, lsmod gives:
Module Size Used by tulip 51360 0
Because Sude9 uses the dmfe driver, I loaded it in S10 with "modprobe dmfe". Now both modules appear in the list, both unused:
Module Size Used by dmfe 20252 0 tulip 51360 0
lsmod in Suse 9 has a "1" for "Used" the dmfe-module.
Why are the modules not used in S10? How can I find out?
In SUSE 10 unload the tulip driver and then load the dmfe first. This sounds like a driver issue. Looking at the docs this does not appear to be a tulip family driver. If you have the kernel sources installed look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking for more information. On the SuSE 9.x box show the results of lsmod | grep tulip. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
