On a system where the network interface has been renamed from eth0 to Netx you
can no longer run yast2 / Network Settings after the most recent 11.4 updates. 
If you do the /etc/sysconfig/newtork/ifcfg-Netx is renamed to ifcfg- and the
network will no longer start.

This is similar to Bug #551310.

4. Upgrade to 11.4 with all current patches
5. Run yast2 / Network Settings

Actual Results:  
Network configuration is deleted.

Expected Results:
