Network Ports and /etc/sysconfig/network
Hi folks,
It seems that the auto-installation of network ports (which are described in
the XML control file) doesn't create files in /etc/sysconfig/network.
However, if you run YaST2 Network Devices (left) Network Card (right) and
add a network port, a file in /etc/sysconfig/network like
ifcfg-eth-id-AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF is created -- the name corresponds to the MAC
address of the card.
Here's a snippet from my XML. Anyone know why auto-install isn't creating
the file(s) in /etc/sysconfig/network? Or, do you know what source code I
should look at to figure this out? :
<interfaces config:type="list">
<interface>
<bootproto>dhcp</bootproto>
<device>eth0</device>
<startmode>onboot</startmode>
</interface>
<interface>
<bootproto>dhcp</bootproto>
<device>eth1</device>
<startmode>onboot</startmode>
</interface>
</interfaces>
<modules config:type="list">
Hi,
There is an update pending you might want to try which fixes some issues
with network and autoyast.
See
http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoyast2/rpms/sles9/sles9-i386/
You will need all rpms.
Create a new source with those updates using the script:
http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoyast2/scripts/create_update_source.sh
and put all the above rpms in there. Dont forget to run
create_package_descr
after you have copied the rpms.
then, you will need something like that:
<interfaces config:type="list">
<interface>
<bootproto>dhcp</bootproto>
<device>eth0</device>
<startmode>onboot</startmode>
</interface>
<interface>
<bootproto>dhcp</bootproto>
<device>eth1</device>
<startmode>onboot</startmode>
</interface>
</interfaces>
<modules config:type="list">

p.s./ I'm talking about auto-installation of SLES9 and SLES9-SP1.
