Please help!
I just purchased a new computer, and tried to install my existing 10.2 SuSE. But the Internet Test failed and I saw the above boot message. I don't have room on my old computer to download 11.2, and the box is still not available here in North America. Is there any way to get MCP61 to work with 10.2? Can I add another ethernet card -- one that 10.2 does recognize -- and disable the MCP61?
Can I configure the MCP61 with Yast? Do I need to install the forcedeth driver? If so, how?
Is the MCP61 onboard device supported in 11.2?
Motherboard: MSI K9N6PGM2 CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz 45nm AM3 socket Hi Why not do a net install then? Get an external USB drive to boot it from on the new PC?

Thanks for the quick reply and the suggestion, Malcolm. I must be missing something, however: How can I use the net install, when I don't have internet access on the new machine? I have a broadband connection, and it uses the ethernet device. I don't even know that 11.2 WILL support the device. I should have been more thorough, checking for Linux compatible hardware, but I wasn't expecting ethernet to be a problem. Now I have six days to decide whether to return the computer. --- On Wed, 2/10/10, Malcolm <malcolm_lewis@bellsouth.net> wrote:
