I just installed suse 10.3 (a version I downloaded ~ 4.4.2008) into an Acer Veriton (M series) desktop. Everything works fine, except the network card. Yast tells me that the appropriate kernel modules can't be found. This seems strange.. I have installed suse several times before and the network cards have never given me any problems. .. it is just a standard network card (no wireless, pcmcia, nothing tricky).
How could I start solving this?
Thank you John for your quick reply.
There is not such thing as a "standard network card".
silly me..
It is a SiS 191 gigabit ethernet adapter (rev 2) and I found a thread in suse forum.
I took another look at the opensuse webpage and found from the wishlist section the following comment:
"The SIS190 driver in 10.3 does not work. There is a different driver on the SIS website for 2.6.9, but this does not even compile due to MODULE_PARM issues."
Has anyone the SiS190 or Sis191 network cards working on suse 10.3 ?
Took a closer look on the sis 191 kernel module.. -------------------- linux-pmz9:/home/user # lspci -nn | grep net 00:04.0 Ethernet controller [Class 0200]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter [1039:0191] (rev 02) linux-pmz9:/home/user # lsmod | grep -i "sis" sis190 38788 0 mii 22528 1 sis190 sata_sis 26756 4 pata_sis 33540 1 sata_sis libata 164096 2 sata_sis,pata_sis linux-pmz9:/home/user # dmesg | grep -i "00:04.0" ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:04.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:04.0 to 64 0000:00:04.0: Read MAC address from APC. 0000:00:04.0: Can not find ISA bridge.

Meawhile, if anyone has got this one working, please email! Sampsa
It should be supported by the newest kernels (like the one I have). In the network card configuration, yast does not offer me any kernel modules to choose.. Where I could find the name of the kernel module (if there is any for this card) ?
Each is a specific type. Look at the chip set on it and find its name, or type lspci and look for the card in the list.
You can go back into yast and ask it to rescan for hardware but ist often quicker to just figure out the card yourself and load the appropriate module.
