The wired worked out of the box with 11.0 on 10/100. I bought a giga hub
and it does not work there. I have not had the time to test if it works
with 11.1Beta.

The other machines I could just put on the network and those worked.

So perhaps it is because you have a 1G network and not a 100M network
that causes the problem. Good to know that it is working with Ubuntu,
because that means it can be solved.

Please file a bug report, so people at openSUSE can fix it.

Yes, I am using a D-Link DGS-1008D Gigabit Switch.
