[S.u.S.E. Linux] SIOCADDRT and SIOCSIFADDR errors

Hey Groups: I have a complete lack of understanding what is wrong with my "eth0" network on 2 machines. First I always set linuxrc up with a network card (ne = io=0x6100 irq=11) and it seems that SuSE finds that card during normal bootup. So I assume that it is loaded in the kernel. It shows up on the bootup messages just after mounting the hard drive partitions along with Donald Beckers address saying it was found. Problem is if I do a "ifconfig /dev/eth0 192.168.##.##" I get a error "SIOCSIFADDR: No such device" Checking my two machines for "l /dev/et*" - > "No such file or directory". It appears that SuSE didn't make the device drivers (ex. mknod /dev/eth# # #). As I recall from version 5.0 SuSE (Linuxrc and Yast) created the device driver. "find" is unable to locate it. It is in "/etc/conf.modules" as "alias eth0 ne" which is "options ne io=0x6100 irq=11". I can add it using mknod but I am not sure of the major/minor number ( I also think of it as a block device) Any suggestions? How and/or where did I go wrong?
