First off - did the network card come detected from YaST when setting up? I've
been using SUSE since 9.1 and have not had an issue with network cards since.
Just FYI, you'll see something like this if you type the command:

That's the entry for my Intel card.
Also you might try ifconfig (it is in your /sbin folder so the regular user
needs to type that folder name).
