Is the card recognized on boot-up? invoke dmesg | more and look for an entry re: eth0 hawn Jack Chu writes:

Ok, is it a pnp card or is it pci? You probably need to put an entry for it in /etc/conf.modules. You may need to recompile your kernel to add support for it. What kernel are you using? -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
