I just finished installing SUSE 10.0 and I find out that ethernet no longer works. It worked fine in 9.3. I looked around and couldnt figure out what was going on until I stumbled across these bug threads:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=121853
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=105730

The problem is that I have no clue what these people are talking about, I want to use the dmfe driver rather than tullip but I have no idea how to do that. (Still newb to the inner workings of linux) Anybody care to decipher this for me into something I can understand?

Open a command line window and type the following:
su -
Enter the root password
When you get the root command prompt, type:rmmod tulip
Then type: modprobe dmfe
That should do it.

Thanks, looks like that works. Only thing is now I have to do this every time I restart the system, is there a way I can make it permanent?

Open a command window as root and then, with a text editor, open /etc/rc.d/boot.local and add the line:
modprobe dmfe
Save and see if that worked.
