Gontran,

I checked the FW rules with iptables -L and the policy was ACCEPT on the
three default chains.  I have not configured any FW rules.

I brought up eth0 using /etc/init.d/net.eth0 script with the net
variables set to the last values of SuSE dhcpcd.  Get a "network is
unreachable" SIOCTL error.  I don't think its hardware because I'm using
the same HW with SuSE.  Of course, SuSE is using a modified 2.4.4
kernel, not 2.4.10.

scott
