Subnet issue, no listen interface

Is a mainboard GeForce 8100-M7 (Biostar) with onboard NVIDIA nForce
Networking Controller.
Suse 10.1 found NIC like Biostar Microtech Intl MCP51 Ethernet
Controller, but the dispositive is named eth-id-00:e0:4c:e5:42:4a
instead 'eth0'
Is this a error? what means?
The device detect to-network connect function but don't ping to another.
When start a message says "eth-id-00:e0:4c:e5:42:4a not configured to
listen any interface" and mention subnet don't exist.
How to solve this? This is a local environment network and I don't know
if need a subnet. Or Linux are asking for 127.0.0.1 like subnet?

That is not error. It's just how YaST will give a name to any eth, using its
MAC address.

Go to YaST -- Network Devices and configure the card.

Yes you do.
It is just parameter that is used to distinguish between networks, and it is
mandatory for any IP network.

Josepe,

do you use DHCP or static IP. It seems that is second in question.

The unique eth0 device work with static 10.2.2.1 255.255.255.0 (no gt,
no DNS) and serve the range (I hope) 10.2.2.100-10.2.2.200 dynamic with
dhcpd service (no gt, no DNS) to the samba clients of the local lan.
I was looking the Yast card configure but no found where the subnet
issue. How can I asign with commands? Wich IP should be my subnet?
-all no routing environtment-

Thanks.

I can assume that the function of SUSE box is to be DHCP server for windows
client boxes. The mask and the range you want to serve are fine, but I
never configured DHCP server. I hope that somebody will jump in. In the
meantime you can see the DHCP server configuration under YaST -- Network
Services. If you are missing DHCP server configuration in that menu, look
to install appropriate YaST components and the DHCP server.

Please let me know the result.

I understand between the lines the following:
Your system should have IP-address 10.2.2.1 mask 255.255.255.0 no gateway,
no routing, no DNS.
It should be a DHCP server giving out as dynamic IP-addresses
10.2.2.100-10.2.2.200.
Start Yast go to network card and give your interface there the static
address 10.2.2.1 and mask 255.255.255.0. No need to set routing, DNS and
gateway.
Then goto Network Services and configure "DHCP server". You may need to skip
a number of requested information but you will be asked for the first
dynamic and last dynamic address. Fill in your values and it should work.
Don't forget to open the firewall for DHCP if you haven't disabled the
firewall.

Thanks. Anyway the system will be reinstalled another HD with mayor
size. As my expertise says, for Yast install should leave dynamic IP.
When Linux boot the new install make config eth0 with fixed
10.2.2.1/255.255.255.0 and the subnet problem will be deleted (I hope).

I am guessing you have not setup your network card.

Try starting "YaST" (Applications -> System -> YaST). Then going to the
"Network Devices" and then "Network Card" and have a play with that.

You can check my reply to "Wifi... Connected no problem but no internet."
to see if that helps.

Good luck and keep the faith...
