Trying to figure this out. I have two systems on the same machine, one OpenSuse, one Slack 12. Suse now seems to consistently connect to dsl, slack seems to never connect.
I am reluctant to claim faulty hw because my Ubuntu Live CD ALWAYS works. Could it be a faulty driver?

ok this is a lot of text to read. I had a similar issue with slackware and it turned out that the module for the NIC was bad. I'd suggest to compile the driver for your network-card into the kernel.
As far as I can say your network-settings look ok.
You are using a very old kernel version in Slackware. Updating to a more recent kernel may fix the problem. Is the NIC a GigE device? I'm guessing that the kernel module for that kernel version didn't support them.
Ok, thanks. What is the best way of doing this? I will be installing Slack 13 on a new partition shortly, so perhaps all I need to do it forget about the old Slack and just copy the /home over
The kernel will be a newer one. It is in /boot and the modules in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/. If you have a separate /home partition, you can keep it. If not, you can backup the files and restore them later. A newer kernel version won't effect the items in home. A newer desktop environment might. You might want to delete your old .kde hidden directory just before installing Slackware. If you are going from KDE 3 to KDE 4, old config file in .kde may not make as much of a difference.
