SUSE Linux Entreprise 8: which kernel for IBM ThinkCentre ?

I've installed SUSE Linux Enterprise 8 on an IBM ThinkCentre. It has
an Intel 82865G Graphics Adapter and an Intel PRO/100 VE Network
Connection both of which are not supported by the SLES 8 distro. I
can get decent graphics by choosing the VESA frame buffer during
installation, but I have no network connectivity. The installation
detected an IBM ethernet adapter for eth0 but during boot up the ifup
script fails. I'm guessing that I need to upgrade the kernel to get
support for the Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection, but I don't know
which kernel version I need.

I'm hoping someone here can help. I've opened a support ticket with
SUSE but due to the time difference it takes 24 hours to get a
response and I'm need to get this server on line.

Thanks.
