Re: Who here is familiar enough with Linux to help me out
I am sorry you haven't had the best experience, but my Gentoo and OpenWRT systems all seem to work with my hardware, with minimal to no hacking required. I wouldn't blame this on GNU/Linux, unless you're using some of the latest hardware.
Also, most filesystems that Linux can work with are far more advanced, reliable, and speedier than say NTFS or FAT32. I am not sure if this is what you are talking about though?
Anyway, I am not at all familiar with SuSE. Your network card is there, and is accessible as a device? Try setting an IP manually and see if it works, and make sure that it isn't just DNS (try pinging an outside IP, not a domain, for instance). If it does, then perhaps it is this YaST thing you're using. Gentoo comes with dhcpcd, OpenWRT with some other DHCP client - both work fine for me.
