Done. But Yast still doesn't show the device (Network Devices, Network Card) > > I note that in hwinfo --netcard, my 3c905 has a hardware address, but the > > Realtek does not.

For instance, hwinfo --netcard shows my 3com as HW Address: 00:60:08:ce:a7:05 and amusingly enough, I have the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:60:08:ce:a7:05 But hwinfo --netcard does not show an HW Address: line for the Realtek device. Yes, I made sure the thing was enabled in the BIOS. Bummer of a device? Bummer of a motherboard? Anything I can (easily) do about it? Thanks.
