So I assume, mulinux works ;-)

Nope, but the problem seemed to be on SuSE's side. Because yast is easy
to use, I think you setup something wrong!

Both have IRQ 5? Is this correct? This "ping is not working" could be a
interrupt problem! Most drivers load with wrong IRQ setting, but don't
work.

the network: 192.168.1.x looks good.

So there can be errors on routing. Please add the printout of route, if
the IRQ's are ok.
