The ethernet card is not being seen correctly. Among other things. What exactly is the hardware you are installing SUSE on? What version of SUSE?

In general if you have a brand new box with new kinds of hardware, it takes the Linux support people a few months to come up with support for it. So if you have an older distro of any Linux, and you are installing it on a new (say) i7 core, chances are it won't play at all.
