I don't know if this will help, but it might work. According to Intel, the motherboard is using the Realtek* RTL8101E-GR Ethernet LAN controller.

I found RTL8101E and RTL8102E-GR but not RTL8101E-GR on the Realtek support download site.

There is a Linux driver you build and install on your system. It's for a similar model LAN chipset so it may work on your system. You'd have to download it, copy/burn it to a removeable media, copy the file to the SLES system, open the file, read the readme file located within as it tells you how to install the driver on your system.

Code:

# bunzip2 r8101-1.006.00.tar.bz2
# tar xf r8101-1.006.00.tar
# cd r8101-1.006.00
# less readme
