Suse 10.1 has two network setup methods, Network manager and Traditional method. Network manager configures the NIC only when it is active but this shouldn't be a problem because when the carrier is sensed then the card is immediately configured according but possibly it might cause problems with some firewalls. Got to yast->Network Devices->Network Cards, and change Network Setup Method to Traditional. Hopefully this might help.
