Suse ethernet modprobe.conf

[Dave Germiquet]

I was able to do what i wanted using the instructions Fraser Campbell
mentioned..

However I still dont KNOW why  install eth0 works :S

uptime-vault2:/etc/sysconfig # grep -r forcedeth *
hardware/hwcfg-bus-pci-0000:00:13.0:MODULE='forcedeth'
uptime-vault2:/etc/sysconfig # cd hardware
uptime-vault2:/etc/sysconfig/hardware # ls
config  hwcfg-bus-pci-0000:00:13.0  scripts  skel
uptime-vault2:/etc/sysconfig/hardware # cat hwcfg-bus-pci-0000\:00\:13.0
MODULE='forcedeth'
MODULE_OPTIONS='max_interrupt_work=15 optimization_mode=0' <-- this is how
you change options
STARTMODE='auto'
