I wouldn't just add the network script. Create a rc.local, then put it in
the rc3.d and rc5.d directories. Now just add the network stuff and
anything you want to rc.local. Not sure how Suse init is setup, but on
Solaris you just symlink /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99rclocal -> /etc/rc.local or
something like that. Then rc.local would run last in runlevel 3. On AIX
to get an rc.local, the convention is to add it to /etc/inittab like so:
rclocal:2:wait:/etc/rc.local >/dev/console 2>&1

Just another way to do it...
