Steve, I don't know why, and I'm not sure I'm reading this right, but
it looks like you are sending the discover on eth1 and then for some
reason your box thinks it is reading the response on eth0. I don't see
how eth1 can bind to an address it thinks is being returned on eth0. I
may be reading this wrong, but that is what it looks like to me.
As root in a konsole, what do iwconfig and ifconfig return? Have you
looked closely at the wireless config in yast? You can also manually try
to get the address in a konsole window with "dhclient -s 206.233.8.255
eth1" and see if you generate any more descriptive messages.
It may also be possible that your udev rules got screwed up somehow,
but someone smarter than I will have to help you there. I, in the past
with 10.0, have had udev "persistent name" problems with devices wanting
to change names on me. (i.e. eth0 to eth1, etc.)
Good luck, it will work again, it's just a matter of how much pain you
will experience in the meantime working to solve the problem.
