Right....tried that John,  no change it still switches off.  In desperation I 
decided to do without networking when booting into Linux so I removed the 
network connection in Mandrake Control Panel.  Guess what,  it then promptly 
switched of the controller!   

Anyway, life's too short and the weather's too nice so I shall wipe the 
Mandrake 10 installation and try something else,  if all else fails reverting 
to Windows to do everything :-(

Strangely enough none of this would be a problem if Windows had a way of 
switching the controller  back on,  but even the Broadcom LAN software 
supplied with the motherboard doesn't provide for it :-)
