Need a little more information…In Yast2 does it see the NIC? If during the startup it posts “no interface found” I’m not sure I understand what you mean by I use Yast to fix the problem.

You are able to add the NIC after boot up? Are you running the hardware detection in Yast after boot? A little more information is needed to help accurately troubleshoot this issue. Do you have the linux based drivers for the NIC?

The first thing I would try is typing

modprobe 8139cp
or
modprobe 8139too

depending on the chip on your NIC.

It’s not impossible that the Plug n Play in SuSE 9.2 could mess up. Let us know the results, as it will help us narrow it down.

After reboot
modprobe 8139cp
:8139cp: … (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip
:8139cp: Try the “8139too” driver instead.
checkproc: cannot stat /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm: No such file or directory
modprobe 8139too
