I have installed 8.2 on two machines without any problems. I upgraded my laptop's 8.1 to 8.2 and I did fresh install on my desktop. Recently I bought new machine.

I got Relatek 8100B which works as 8139 undert Windows and 8139too under Knoppix Live CD Linux. What's wrong? I cannot make it work as rtl8139 or 8139cp too. Does anybody got similar problems with SuSE 8.2?
My hardware is Shuttle FX41 mobo with VIA KM266 chipset + Athlon 2000. So I got installed customized kernel for Athlon. Maybe this is a sourcce of problem while all my previous installations used just plain SuSE kernel.
thanks,
