how to get my NIC working under suse enterprise server(8.1)?
Hi:
I install suse enterprise server on amd64 with opteron cpu(the motherboard is asus sk8n),
At boot time I see..
"ifup: Could not get a valid interface name. --- Skipped Failed"
Even I insert another card,things keep the same.
How could I bring up my NIC?

Can you get to a shell prompt at all?
If you can, type in (as root):
ifup eth0
and see if this brings up the network. If not, you'll have to wander around more linux-y based forums, or ask SUSE for help - if they have maintenance program (I would think so for an enterprise class product).
Hope this helps

post the output of the "dmesg" (ran from the command line) also the "lsmod" (also ran fromt he command line) would help. Sounds like it's not loading the proper module (driver) for the nic(s). Post back

The card is integrated on the motherboard--CK8 MAC+Realtek RTL8201BL PHY.I ever insert a card which can work under RedHat9.0,but things keep same.When i type ifup etho:it prompt:
ifup;could not get a valid interface name.
when i type lsmod:the output is as blow:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
ipv6 167144 -1 (autoclean)
hid 21736 0 (unused)
mousedev 6816 0 (unused)
joydev 6880 0 (unused)
evdev 6336 0 (unused)

lvm-mod 77216 0 (autoclean)
reiserfs 223928 1
ataraid 9380 0 (unused)
when i type dmesg,the information is very large without something concerned with the NIC.
I have reported it to suse support ,they will solve it with me.I will post the result here after I fix the issue.

in /etc/modules.conf ,there is a line;
alias eth0 off.
I also think the module for the NIC is not loaded.

then i delete the eth0 with yast2.add a file in /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts named ifcfg-eth0.within it I write several line such asnboot=yes ipaddr=192.168.0.81
the message disappear,but i still could not surf internet.
God,我晕了……
