The Homeplug is an ACER Homeplug, apparently fully 1.0.1 compatible. The network card is an old model 3Com 3c900B-TPO Etherlink Cyclone rev 04 card. It loads the 3c59x module, which as far as I can check from Linux books is correct.
It is correct module.
Had a google search on the subject and found all matter of things on 'powerline bridgees', and a tool plconfig. But I am not so sure that this is what is needed. Also, company developer have a software for Linux to set up the adapter. But then I have set it up already using my Windows machine, so the adapter should be fine? Afterall how would a hardware router know anything about a homeplug...
I looked in setup manual on Acer web site and it seems to be one time password setup to keep your conversation private.
Quite, so that is why I discounted the software. Afterall, the XP laptop does not know anything about the password either, nor my old win98 machine.
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" Mmh bugzilla - Now that is indeed interesting - I shall dig out another NIC from an old pc in the house and maybe get some better response there. For that matter I tried all these warm and cold reboots - no change in behaviour.
