next time, do lsmod before then after you get eth1 working.  I'm
willing to bet the module doesn't load.  If that's the case, you may
have a file like /etc/modules that will allow you to tell the system
which modules to load prior to doing anything else.  That may be all
you need.  Note:  watch carefully to see if YAST passes any arguments
to the driver.  If so, you'll need to include those as part of the
automagic loading.
