Thanks guys,
OK should have included a bit more information.
First of all I seem to have it working via Yast, Kalos suggested changing the card config, so I had a bash - don't think I did it the way I was advised (I am new to yast), but I used the advance nic config to specify a driver of bcm5700.
Since I come from FC2, it still has a /etc/modules.conf - I now know it's just for backward compat. I put the file there myself.
My SuSe is 9.1 Pro, with 2.6 kernel, fresh install.
ifup/ifdown eth0 still produces :
eth0 device:Broadcom Corportion: Unkown device 170d (rev 01)
But it works!
Glad it does. :)
Unfortunately the laptop still locks when booted outside of failsafe mode, but now I can get details - it seems to stop when loading the ali5451 sound driver.
Try for a moment to boot with sound shut off (remove alsasound from the boot process:) insserv -r alsasound reboot If the pc boots without that error then it is definitely the sound driver, and you need to investigate it further. insserv alsasound will insert alsasound into the boot process again.
