    Tried your suggestion. The network goes down normally, and then I can bring
    it back up... eth0 requests and gets an IP from the router... and then
    nothing. I can't even ping the router.

    If I do the same with my laptop (virtually identical install of SUSE9.0), I
    have no problems.

    If I tail /var/log/messages when I try to start the network, I see this
    (192.168.1.1 is my router):
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Nov 23 14:26:37 linux kernel: eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on
    auto-negotiated partner ability 45e1.
    Nov 23 14:26:37 linux kernel: martian source 255.255.255.255 from 192.168.1.1,
    on dev eth0
    Nov 23 14:26:37 linux kernel: ll header:
    ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:03:9d:51:1f:3a:08:00
    Nov 23 14:26:37 linux modify_resolvconf: Service dhcpcd modified /etc/
    resolv.conf. See info block in this file
    Nov 23 14:26:52 linux kernel: eth0: no IPv6 routers present
    -----------------------------------------------------

    What's puzzling me is that I can get an IP from the router, and that on boot
    everything works fine... I'm at a loss to explain why I can't simply start/
    stop my network on 9.0 like I could on 8.2....
