I installed openSUSE 11.2 on my laptop lenovo T60, but I can’t connect internet using it.
linux-o1sa:/home/baijingjiao # dmesg | grep eth
I downloaded below 2 files from Intel Wired Ethernet | Get Intel Wired Ethernet at SourceForge.net
which one should I use for my NIC?
linux-o1sa:/home/baijingjiao # lspci #1 (rev 02)#2 (rev 02)#3 (rev 02)#4 (rev 02)02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller
what would be more interesting is
/sbin/lspci -nnk
baijingjiao@linux-o1sa:~> /sbin/lspci -nnk #1 [8086:27c8] (rev 02)#2 [8086:27c9] (rev 02)#3 [8086:27ca] (rev 02)#4 [8086:27cb] (rev 02)
You can see the two devices:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:109a]
Subsystem: Lenovo ThinkPad T60 [17aa:2001]
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [8086:4227] (rev 02)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:1010]
Kernel driver in use: iwl3945
The wireless should be working fine. I have the same on my LenovoR61
If you look for T60 here: HCL/Laptops/IBM - openSUSE

oh…they only mentioned 10.1,10.2,10.3, 11.1 , no 11.2, … maybe I should install 11.1 for my laptop T60?
I doubt that 11.1 works and 11.2 doesn’t
I tried openSUSE 11.1 liveCD (no installation), seems can’t drive NIC too >:(>:( what can I do?
Not sure what you should do.
I would install 11.2 from the DVD. And try again.
I can only reiterate that all the T60 refs in the HCL show no issues with ethernet.

============================================
Did some Googling for you
 Network Adapter Driver for PCI-E Gigabit Network Connections under Linux*](http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=15817&ProdId=2198&lang=eng )
read me here: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15817/eng/README.txt
I mean are your R61e 's Ethernet Card work on openSUSE?
I checked my kernel drivers net folder, there are e1000 and e1000e, why the opensuse didn’t use any one of them?

Yes. My R61e is as quoted. A different device to you.
Can you connect with your wireless?
I have no wireless router.
Driver Info #0:
the driver is active, but why it isn’t used by openSUSE?
linux-afyu:/home/baijingjiao # ifconfig eth0
Go to Yast - Network Devices - Network Settings
Select your eth0 device and edit it accepting defaults
See if that helps. Report back.

I didn’t find NetworkManager, where is it?
If you just OK there then switch the radio button to traditional ifup
Then go to the Overview tab
If it still does not work let us know
