Cool.  Got it working now! The sis900 is
configured for plugnplay under windows - so was
confusing BL. (although suse managed to cope with it)

May also have been something to do with the ntl
cable modem.

The 'resource temorarily unavailable' was the clue
- googling showed that other users of the same
card had had the same problem, and it was related
to plug n play... so...

1) Disabled pnp on the BIOS
2) booted BL
3) insmod sis900.o
4) ifconfig as before, but with a bcast address of
255.255.255.255
5) dhcp

... and it works.  

Many thanks all for your help! :-)
