How do I add a Network Driver to the Boot Process

[Nexist]

I have compiled the driver. using insmod, I can load it & get an IP address via DHCP. If I reboot I have to do all this over again.

I feel like an idiot, but I cannot find how to cause the driver to load duiring boot. I am using SuSe 8.2

To get the module to load during boot look for a /etc/modules file and add the name of the file there

As for your network settings have a look for a /etc/network/

If you can't find either of those have a look in Yast to see if there is a GUI tool for doing it :)
