various notes (google) that indicate problems for and kernel patches needed
to get the 5752 working.  It's possible these are not in the 'Upstream
Vendor's' kernel yet (don't have a SL4.3 system to hand to check).   I've
seen similar behaviour with newer Intel Pci-E chips.   So if you do hand
config the ifcfg-eth0 file, it may not work.

Indeed I installed from the CDs, so it might be what you are saying. In fact
looks very strange to see in the network config all the numbers at their
place, the hardware type recognized so well, but the whole stuff refusing to
work. I will try to configure it again by hand soon, let's hope it will work.

Thanks,
