Hmm, it sounds like I would need to login to a SuSE 9.1 or 9.2 system to
see exactly how all this works. Any chance you could give me an account

Also, I need to see what SuSE has changed with network interface
configuration since 9.1, as Webmin currently doesn't support the new
ifcfg-* file format..
