Is this dom0, domU or both?

Do you see the interface at all using "ifconfig -a" on domU?
Any RX/TX activity?
Any traffic when starting tcpdump on it?

Did you also copy the configuration file? If yes, did you modify the mac 
address?

This would be one of the last things to check if the previous tests 
above indicate a working interface.

I think this more likely related to either the config file (mac address 
collision) or udev in domU (if you copied the domU image udev will still 
reserve eth0 for the previous interface, identified by mac address)

This is very Suse specific, please try to give more general information 
(ifconfig, brctl) and always mention if the information comes from dom0 
or domU.
