I'm not certain how easy Suse's setup program will be to configure these
cards, but Realtek cards are quite well supported in the kernel and
should work fine.

A quick look through at my kernel shows support for RTL8139 and that
when compiled as a module the module is called RTL8139too. 

Hope that helps.
