Running it from there is the first sign of problems. You should have
used proper init scripts. E.g. the asterisk and dahdi ones.

This would have allowed you restarting some stuff without fully
rebooting the system.

This is a great indication to the fact that 'sleep' is normally a bad
cure for races.

Why not just:

  /etc/init.d/dahdi start 

(not in the background)

Please check the OpenSUSE packaging of Asterisk and DAHDI.

Isn't there a better place for the network settings?

Please provide some useful output.

To quote one IRC bot: 

Look buddy, "doesn't work" is a vague statement.  Does it sit on the
couch all day long?  Does it procrastinate doing the dishes?  Does it
beg on the street for change?  Please be specific!  Define 'it' and what
it isn't doing.  Give us more details so we can help you without needing
to ask basic questions like "what's the error message?".  Ask me about
<smart questions> and <errors>.
