You shouldn't have to re-install. I've had some problems with nic's under 9.1. They'd work and then they wouldn't find the network. I found that deleting the nic in Yast, closing the NIC YaST component and then going back into it, and installing a new nic (actually the old one) worked. One other thing comes to mind here. Are you sure of your cables and other hardware? swap ports on your router, and switch cables from the box that works to the box that doesn't work. Does the box that works still work?

I'll give that a try. It's very frustrating to spend several days trying to get something to work, that used to. I get the feeling that the new kernel doesn't like (or doesn't have) the driver that used to work.

I just had to change it from grabbing a IP via our DHCP to static, save...then back to get it to work. This is on a fresh install. Maybe try that...it's a few seconds faster than deleting and adding new. -- Thanks, George "INTEL INSIDE" It's not a marketing gimmick, it's a warning label.
