Comment (by yiannividalis@…):

 Apologies about the differences between the log port number and the
 netstat commands: I overrode the default port of 6546 to 6983 to check if
 it was the port that was causing the problem. Mythfrontend couldn't bind
 to the 6983 port either. The netstat results were taken after I returned
 the port to the default value.

 sudo netstat -tapn | grep 654 gives:

 {{{

 I get the impression that the networkcontrol protocol *code* cannot bind
 to a port.

 I tried enabling networkcontrol on a laptop I have (opensuse 11.4
 tumbleweed, same mythtv version) and I also put 6546 to the allowed TCP
 and UDP ports on the firewall with no success. Disabling the firewall had
 no effect,either.

 If networkcontrol depends on specific libraries on the system, let me know
 which ones and I can give you the version numbers, in case there is
 something in opensuse code that creates conflict.
