Thanks for your help, reall....
So... go back into your config, and remove the network card driver you loaded. Try again, and this time load the pcnet_cs driver. If you need some help with this do a Google search on "Kingston KNE-PC2 Linux" There is lots of information out there to help you get this working... just not on the Kingston website..
- you mean, I just need to remove the network card in "Network Card Configurations in YaST" and re-configure the card...?
Yes, you can change your configuration in YaST. Through many trial and error attempts with a Kingston card on a laptop, I found the best way was to remove the incorrect setting first. Continue through to the end and let SuSEconfig do it's thing. Then go back in and configure the card with the correct driver. Chances are, SuSE does not auto-detect the card. It has been a long time since I worked on the laptop, but if my memory is working right, you should be able to select Other (not detected) and click Configure... In the next screen, type in pcnet_cs in the Module name spot. Select the PCMCIA check box and then click Next. Since you are configuring for a cable modem, you should be able to use the Automatic address setup, so just click Next again. This should bring you back to the start screen, and you should see the network card you just added in the Already configured devices box. Click Finish and YaST will do it's thing and reconfigure the system and update the system files. Then you can go check to see if you configured things correctly by opening a Shell and running /sbin/ifconfig (the way Anders suggested... thanks by the way Anders for correcting my bad habit of running this as root). If the network card shows up and has an IP (which it should assuming all went well) you can try pinging an internet address, or even just the IP of the cable modem to see if you can communicate with the outside world.
