Hmm, your problem may be something totally different, but as a
particularly clueless newbie, I also kept finding that my network
card wouldn't connect after a reboot, although I could get it working
again in DrakConf. Turned out there's a "save configuration" button
in DrakConf that I'd never checked!
Not implying that you're quite as clueless as I was, but it might be
worth checking.
