This actually turned out to be related to my problem. Apparently, when you
use YaST2 to configure hipersockets, it touches everything it is supposed
to EXCEPT /etc/chandev.conf

As soon as I looked at that file on the working system, I saw entries in it
for the ethernet device ID's as well as the hipersocket ID's.  Duplicating
that and adjusting the device numbers assigned to the particular guest
resolved the issue.

Thanks everyone.

I would never have remember chandev.conf by myself.

Sure - you can have hsi0 and eth0 at the same time - it is the same driver
but the adapters have different types. I have this on SLES8 and SLES9
systems.
Here examples for SLES8:
in /etc/chandev.conf specify:
#
noauto;qeth0,0xff00,0xff01,0xff02
noauto;qeth0,0x3100,0x3101,0x3102;add_parms,0x10,0x3100,0x3102,portname:GB3100

#

here the output of ifconfig:

The problem seem to be the wrong deviceorder - you have to start with even
device addresses
read-write-data
even-odd-whatever (and write must be read+1)
