The Module Name field must be the one you suggested I fill with rtl8169; it was empty, and I filled it. When I closed the window (Next > OK) and opened again, both fields were again empty.
are you sure that driver is installed on your system?
I am sure of nothing at this point, including my name. What I know is that:
I got the name of the Ethernet card from the hardware list
I downloaded a driver of that name from RealTek
I followed the instructions given in the readme that came with the driver accurately, with help for places that I didn't
The instructions give diections for texting whether the driver is in fact installed. The response from the system looked OK, except I remarked at the time that it failed to call out the name of a device (eth0), which it was expected to do.
So no, I don't think the driver is properly installed, but I don't know why not.
Someone suggested that I check the connection. The connection is OK.
Please run as root "hwinfo --netcard" and send the output. Also, check the openSUSE 11.2 LiveCD and if that one has working ethernet, either install the 11.2 kernel or use 11.2 directly, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
