ok, this is understandable amd makes perfect sense. 
Maybe I got it wrong, but "perfectly working" made me think
different.

From what I remember from Suse, the network setup should be
stored in /etc/sysconfig/... directory. I would recommend to
save /etc to get all setup information backed up. 

But nevertheless you will have to find out how to duplicate the
Suse setup in ubuntu. I would strongly advice NOT to simply copy
the suse configuration over to Ubuntu. Imho this would very
likely render your system screwed up.
