System Administration --> Integrate Hardware into System --> Configure Networking DeviceWhen you have only one Network Device in your system you can set the Network type to eth0.
Select your Device from the list of Network Device types.
If you can't find your device among those listed it doesn't mean that your card is not supported. There are many devices that are compatible to those listed. You can check if this is the case in the technical information that came with the device. If this information is not clear or not included you can, in the case of PCI cards, let Linux help you check which cards are compatible.
With the command:
/sbin/lspciyou receive a list of all PCI devices in your system. If, for instance, the device
00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21140 [FasterNet] (rev 22)is detected then your device can be addressed using the DEC Tulip Driver (in YaST DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI).
NE2000 compatible PCI cards appear, in the output of lspci, often as Realtek RTL 8029.
The rest of the network configuration can be done with YaST, under the menu items
System Administration --> Integrate Hardware into System --> Network base ConfigurationAfter the configuration you can activate the network with the commands:
init 1followed by
init 2.
See also man init.
