The 3c509 network card is declared during system boot up to be "not yet active" and "no interface found". I followed the instructions in section 13.4 (Network Integration - Admin Guide) using YAST. Everything OK with the card operation in the rest of my session.
What does this mean? That the network connection works, and you're only concerned about a message during boot? Or do you have to do something actively to start the network connection? One problem might be that you have DHCP and it takes a while to get the data to set up the card, so the network start script says "backgrounding", meaning it starts up other things while DHCP is waiting for the data in the background.
