This has been covered in previous messages, but basically you can use your system console to manually load the network driver and configure your interface. > Last but not least, can someone tell me all the "pieces" I need to change > using Yast?

Ummm... I don't think YaST knows about the module parameters, so if you've changed IP addresses etc using YaST, you would still have needed to update your chandev.conf or modules.conf. > To make things more difficult, we'll be switching everything over to an OSA > gigibit adaptor in a month or > so. For this you will need QDIO. The Linux Device Drivers manual from DeveloperWorks will tell you about low level stuff to configure the modules, but you should be able to use your distributions standard tools to configure IP.
