No personal experience, but a very quick search on google for "suse 
dfe-690txd" came up with this link:

With the following quote:

"If the machine you buy doesn't have built-in Ethernet, I can recommend the
D-Link DFE-690TXD adapter or the Xircom adapters. For SuSE 8.0, both of 
these are *literally* plug-and-play except that you have to configure the 
usual IP parameters. But hardware detection is 100% automatic."
