Thanks John,

'lsmod' (something else I've learnt) shows it to be bcm4400.  The kernel is 
2.4 as you quite rightly recall,  and changing 'acpi=ht' to 'acpi=on' in lilo 
sorted the powerdown problem.

I've stopped 'network' in Mandrake Control Panel Services, thinking that would 
stop it from switching off the network controller, but it still switches it  
off when I do a restart.  The only way I can keep the controller switched on 
for use in Windows is to use the big hammer approach and hit the hard reset 
button :-)  

Now beginning to wish I'd left well alone and continued with Mdk 9.2 !
