How Do I reconfigure the Network Card under Suse 6


Hi there, I have recently installed Suse 6 with the default 2.0.3.6 kernel without X on an old P166 with 16 Megs of RAM. The problem I had was that during install, when it asked me what kind of network card I had, I assumed it was a bog standard NE2000 compatible. Turns out it isn't, and at boot time Linux is not able to bring up eth0. I can still boot to a command line, so I was wondering if there was any way for me to choose another card and try again without installing the whole system over again. I'm assuming it would be YaST in Suse? Any pointers?

If you know what driver your card requires, you can just change the driver in /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules on an older distribution).
