All,
I am having networking problems with SuSE 9.3 and a old IBM Thinkpad.
I've tried three different PC cards (IBM, D-Link and 3Com) with the same
results. SuSE appears to install and configure the PC Card properly but
never gets a DHCP address. ifup-dhcp eth0 says ".....no IP address
yet....backgrounding."
A closer look at ifconfig shows:
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:551
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0
Can anybody point me in the right direction to start troubleshooting?

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with
experience.
When I was using pc cards and suse 9.0 there was a bug where you had to
modprobe the yenta module by hand to force it to load.
