The Homeplug is an ACER Homeplug, apparently fully 1.0.1 compatible. The

books is correct.
It is correct module.
Now when I know a bit more I can rule out many reasons.
Looking for network problems in Novell bugzilla there is quite a few
references on problems with Network Manager. Can you try to select
classic method with ifup during reconfiguration in YaST and see if
configuration will survive reboot.
Ifup makes no difference, also tried safeboot text runlevel (3?). No
luck - always DHCP goes ".... waiting"
Thanks for the bugzilla tip !!! Plundered another pc - and with a Belkin
NiC it works. It seems to boot ok, DHCP responds and web pages open via
the LAN and router as they should!!!
So it is the 3Com 3c900B-TPO Etherlink Cyclone rev 04 card which behaves
strangely. I guess this is a case for a bug report then.
Thanks for all the help and support - now comes the next lesson in
Linux! Like where do I submit bug reports... ;-) ( but I have learnt
where config files are kept and a few bash commands... ;-) )
The next project is to find a low resource GUI as KDE seems too hard for
the old 350MHz 192Mb machine to cope with...

Peter
