Graphically is good, I am a newbie too
(although being a programmer I dont mind text if I have instructions)
Ive gone to the YAST control centre and to yast-system-config and looked at most of the settings including the ones in hardware-network.
I think I might have to set a setting to run a script and then go and edit that script.
I'll have another look later but in the mean time anyone who knows SuSE would really help.
