    Thanks for answer. I've removed eth0 interface. Then with YAST2 I've
    configured eth-pcmcia-0 (recognized automatically by SuSE) as static with ip
    assigned by router. Then I've done "/etc/init.d/network restart" and finally
    I've read the message "done" on the screen for "setting up network
    interfaces" at eth-pcmcia-0 entry. Ok, but internet doesn't work. So I've
    manually launched "dhcpcd" and only after that, internet works!.
    Ok, I've rebooted the system and network does NOT work.
    During boot process, after F2, I've read "configuration lo...done" and
    "configuration eth-pcmcia-0....hotplug".
    If I do "ifconfig", only lo interface is present.
    I've tryed to extract pcmcia and reinsert and at dmesg i see:
    ====
    cs: cb_free(bus 2)
    cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x10ec, device 0x8139
    PCI: Enabling device 02:00.0 (0000 -> 0003)
    ====
    but network still not works and only lo interface is present.
    Then I've done:
    ====
    luna:/home/ste # /etc/init.d/network restart
    Shutting down network interfaces:
        eth-pcmcia-0 skipped
    Setting up network interfaces:
        lo done
        eth-pcmcia-0 hotplug
     ====
    So...
    ====
    luna:/home/ste # ifconfig eth-pcmcia-0 up
    eth-pcmcia-0: unknown interface: No such device
    ====
    I'm going crazy!!
    With Debian I've compiled the pcmcia support static in the kernel and all
    works. I've switched to SuSE because I was looking for a distro more stable
    and modern. So I'd like take all SuSE structure with kernel preconfigured. Is
    it possible?
    How can I manage network card without hotplug?
    With YaST I've then configured a new interface NOT pcmcia with realtek module.
    Interface name is eth0 than:
    ====
    luna:/home/ste # /etc/init.d/network restart
    Shutting down network interfaces:
        eth-pcmcia-0 done
        eth0 done
    Setting up network interfaces:
        lo done
        eth0 (DHCP) failed
        eth-pcmcia-0 (DHCP) failed
    ====
    But after I've done
    luna:/home/ste # ifconfig
    luna:/home/ste # dhcpcd
    ====
    Now the situation is:
    ====
    luna:/home/ste # ifconfig
    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:6A:2C:2D
              inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

    And now Internet works.
