i8500 & SuSe 8.1 Network Issue, ifup: Could not get a valid interface name: -> skipped
hi mates,
i received my i8500 last week and as it gets out of the box i tried to install suse linux 8.1 pro. everything works fine besides network configuration.
Every time i load linux i get the message
ifup: Could not get a valid interface name: -> skipped failed
Yast identified the Network adapter as Dell Ethernet Controller and everythings seems right.
here is what hwinfo says:

IPADDR='192.168.0.13'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'

I already tried some hints i found in other forums like updating the kernel et cetera but nothing worked. If anyone has an solution or workaround ols help :)
