SuSE relies on Yast to configure quickly with the system. There are several changes, additions and saves to be made to get the Ethernet Card recognized and applied to the ISP, the hardware, and the DHCP configuration. First setup Eth0<or what YOUR device name is>. Second setup the router/modem to identify the ISP, user, and password. Then answer the questions in the advanced fields...Primary and Secondary Nameservers will save a lot of headaches later. Third, setup DHCP, if YOU do NOT use Static IP. Fourth, save the data to the system memory. Important, don't rush off, and assume it will be saved. Save the data by clicking it! It may not be necessary to Reboot the system, IMO I do reboot the system. And it works after reboot. TIP: if asked to start at boot, choosing YES is an easy way to keep the settings, and just go online after a boot up. Good luck.
