Keith,
I'm the one that wrote the SuSE 9.3 instructions. I still run SuSE
9.3, so I cannot tell you what might have changed in SuSE 10. Maybe
someone else on the list has experience with SuSE 10.
Here's the changes I made to the linux-decnet files on my SuSE 9.3
system:
wavelet:/etc/sysconfig/network # diff /etc/init.d/decnet{.original,}

Here's my ifcfg-eth0 file and the output of ifconfig eth0:
