The directory sysconfig [nor nothing remotely like it] exists there.
SuSE must not use the same init scripts as RedHat. I thought you were using YDL, which is based on RedHat.
I have no idea about the specifics of how SuSE brings up the ethernet interfaces.
/sbin/ifconfig only reported back to me about the loopback [ie the only interface is reported was lo].
I would go back a step and see if there are drivers loaded for your network hardware.
dmesg|grep eth
should show the kernel detecting/loading the drivers for your network hardware.
Well, its not dhclient, nor is it any of the variations I can think of and tried.
From the LDP DHCP mini-HOWTO ( http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/DHCP/x74.html )
" Currently there are three different DHCP client programs for Linux, dhcpcd, pump and dhclient. "
See if any packages that relate to DHCP are installed, maybe your install skipped those packages
rpm -qa|grep dhc
If there is nothing, since RedHat is recommending pump, perhaps SuSE uses it as well.
rpm -qa|grep pump
If that is what your distro uses for a DHCP client, then see if there are any man pages or docs for pump
rpm -ql pump|grep man rpm -ql pump|grep doc
One thing I do is get a list of all the RPMs from the install disc so I can see if a RPM is in the distro, and which disc it is on.
I mount my CD drive at /CDROM, so this command will list the RPMs on a RedHat disc, sort it alphabetically, and write it to a file (if the disc is mounted)
ls /CDROM/RedHat/RPMS/*.rpm|sort>/root/rpmlist_disc1.txt
I do that for each disc, then I can use grep to look for a RPM
grep dhc /root/rpmlist_disc*
