Sounds like Joel might be onto something. First, *forget* YAST. Its obscuring what you need to accomplish. You should first look at /etc/modules.conf to see if there is an entry for eth1. If not, add it like this: alias eth1 orinoco_cs
Next, look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and verify that ONBOOT=YES, and all the other info listed is correct. Report your progress.
