Hi Yet another - and perhaps more hassle-free approach - is to name the NICs by bus-ID. This way you can ensure that the NIC in slot x always is ethx and you don't have to update the profile with different MAC addresses for every machine. I documented that in http://www.novell.com/support/viewContent.do?externalId=7006937&sliceId=1 a while ago. Best regards Andreas

Is there a way of specifying this in the autoyast file and at the boot prompt?
Yes, you can add a section under "networking":
<net-udev config:type="list"> <rule> <name>eth0</name> <rule>ATTR{address}</rule> <value>xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</value> </rule> </net-udev>
where you should substitute "xx:xx:xx..." for the actual MAC address.
You could also use a placeholder string in that field, like "__MACADDR__" which could be substituted later via a pre-script.
Add more rules for other interfaces as needed.
