ifup: Could not get valid interface name
This is the error I get on 2 cards installed on the system. One is a Microstar onboard LAN, and the other is a D-Link. After booting I cannot gain acces to the internet until I run thru the YAST module for network cards. I don't make any changes, but I believe it just loads the drivers for the card and starts the neccessary services.
Still really new to Linux. I am running SuSE 8.0. Ran dmesg and got:

I can't get anything out of this, and I can't comprehend why the NIC's will not load during the boot. In the Network Card Module, YaST recognizes both cards an shows the Brand names and model numbers.
I would appreciate any help. Thinking about using this as a Network Server.
Thanks much, DA nono
