HI If you can manually assign the address to the card using "ifconfig" or "ip" then the hardware is recogonized and the driver is being loaded, which means the suse front ends are buggy in configuring the said card.
The way to go is, edit the actual config files instead of using the frontend tools, under suse your configuration files will be under /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-* The was a time when they actually went wild and started naming the interfaces using the mac address so just check that too.

Hi Guys I have just completed installing a firewall server running on SuSe 10.1. The Server is a Dell Dimension 2400 with two network cards. One is a 3Com nic and the other is a Dell BCM4401 100 BaseT card. The 3com works fine and the settings on it are stored ok. However with the onboard dell card, Yast has the correct IP settings but the card is not able to pick them up even after using running Suseconfig. My firewall works well when I manually put the IP address and default gateway onto the external Dell onboard card but once I run yast to configure the networ, the onboard card loses all the settings. Restarting the computer does not help also because only the 3com adapts the settings but the dell onboard card does not. What can I do to solve this? thanks Wire _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
