Try running HardDrake to see if it in fact is being caught by the boot
process. Next figure out what card it is and what bus it uses(ISA/PCI). If
it uses ISA use isapnp to try and configure it. Next add a line like so to
your /etc/modules.conf file:
Alias eth0 ne
Ne io=0x220 irq=11
SuSE comes with a huge /etc/modules.conf file that has just about every card
imaginable in it.

I'm in the process of migrating one of my platforms from SuSE64 to
Mandrake7.2 and the ethernet card that worked in SuSE is giving me fits in
7.2.
I had thought that the OS wasn't finding eth0 during boot, but if I do
/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf I get:
Board 1 has Identity 86 cb 40 73 05 01 22 05 07: AXE2201 Serial
No 3409998597 [checksum 86]
which suggests that the boot process is finding the ethernet card. I
noticed, however, that the boot process is giving me the message:
Delaying eth0 initialization
at least I think that's what it says as it goes by rather rapidly and dmesg
doesn't resurrect the message.
I really would like to solve this problem, any help will be greatfully
accepted.
Thanks in advance.
