What do the kernel messages say when the interface module is loaded,
and after you've tried to get it up? What does mii-tool report about
the link status? Can you give a lspci to see what kind of card it is?
Is this OpenSUSE or SLED, I am not really familiar with the version
numbers? Can you also give a uname -a listing to see what kernel
version you're running, exactly.
