When you are done testing a card, you should go into Control Center - Yast - Network devices and click on Network card. Under 'Already configured devices', select the card you have tested and click on Delete, then Finish. The Finish phase of the deletion of the device runs /sbin/SuSEconfig, which updates many files in /etc. That update is necessary to remove the record of previous devices.
Then, the next device should start at eth0 or eth1 depending on the motherboard hardware setup. You should do this after testing each card.

Now, as soon as I insert the card, it will not be detected. Because the file lying at /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg* file will not be matching.
So, I edit it with new MAC address and then do service network restart and it works fine.

You could also go into Yast as described above to have the new card probed and configured.
