________________________________
Its not too bad. Edit the line STARTMODE='onboot' to "manual" in the ifcfg-<your eth0 device> in /etc/sysconfig/network. Take a look at man ifcfg it may help also. Rerun SuSEConfig to be sure, then reboot or init i, init 5 to see if it helps. Please let me know.

I had a similar issue with my Toshiba Tecra 9100. What I found for me is that the DHCP service does not handle gracefully a condidiotn where it tries to initialize both eth0 (my wired nic) and the wireless nic under conditions that eth0 is not plugged in; it backgrounds the DHCP attempts for eth0 and does not seem to get an address for the wireless nic. I could get things started manually, but it was a pain. What i did to address it, was to set eth0 not to start "on boot" but "manual" in the setup of the device. This way on bootup the DHCP service did not seem to get confused by not getting an address ont he wired nic during bootup and did get an address for the wireless nic. This may not address your issue, but perhaps its relevant. Plese let me know if this helps or not. David abraham@esper.com.
