Are you able to use ifup and ifdown in SuSE 10 ?

Debian:
-----------------------------
mashq at specialK:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
------------------------------

If my network goes funny you just need to run

ifdown eth0

then

ifup eth0

to bring it back up again.
Less headache and wait then a reboot.
