That may be true, like I have said I am not an expert but until I did that I would have to manually activate the network device each time Linux was booted.

All of those should create the necessary udev rules, and update /boot/zipl/active_devices.txt so that they are not in the cio_ignore list when booting is complete. YaST will also re-run mkinitrd to make sure things get put into the initrd that are needed there.
